I am not sure what everyone else is trying to solve, but I know what I am trying to solve. I am trying to solve the problem that moving an application from Qt 5 to 6 will require significant effort, arguably too much effort already for, so we'll see a lot of applications reluctantly, or possibly never, moving to Qt 6, effectively dropping out. And I think that's a situation nobody here should be interested in. Solving the QList issue by saying "nothing to be done" takes away some part of the pressure, specifically one that has the potential of touching a large part of a code base. > If we went the other way around, i.e. QList is the "default" type, like > proposed: doesn't the task stay fundamentally the same? No, because there's a lot less code using QVector, and from that quite a bit only introduced recently, i.e. in an context where one can hope that the projects actually have active resources to "fix" things. > [...] Andre' _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
