Hahaha, welcome to the state of Qt 2021. Feel free to read the March
archive of this mailing list
(https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/interest/2021-March/thread.html)
to get up to date (you'll know what threads I mean when you see them).
Or https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTQAINFRA-4121. Or the resulting
https://dot.kde.org/2021/04/06/announcing-kdes-qt-5-patch-collection.
Honestly, I'm "fine" with Qt supporting LTS commercially only, sure
fine. But that should have started with 6.2. It was very bad to remove
LTS when the next "normal" version was *admittedly* half baked. I don't
mind having to move with the 6 month pace being a FOSS version user, but
we were left in the weird grey area of no bugfix release and a negative
feature release...
Someone thought it was a good idea, and maybe it was, I haven't watched
the financial records. Or the community contribution statistics...
Oh well...

+1: The 2 last project I had to start went Xamarin because of this
situation, I guess we might restart Qt dev, when 6.2 come around,
until then we have a hard time to work into IoT and mobile with 6,
many of our lib depends on missing modules, we keep our old project
alive with Qt 5.15.2, but nothing will be port to Qt 6 until 6.2 or
something else if the pressure get too high or our Xamarin toolbox get
good enough I guess.
