I'll note again that at the moment, we're talking about "things which
support Qt 6, but the ebuild doesn't even acknowledge that right now, or

Allow me to re-emphasize this topic 4 months later:
- Most of KDE projects have ported away to Qt6.
- No other DE/WM based on Qt5 is left in ::gentoo to benefit from the option.
- Therefore I do not plan to put any more time into Qt5 packaging, much less
backporting LTS fixes to KDE Qt repositor
This includes migrating existing packages to Qt6, forcing Qt6 when
a package supports both rather than have USE=qt5/qt6, and last-riting

Forcing Qt6 was formerly avoided due to poor integration on Qt5
