As I said, it's possible to do it before, if you really need to. Note: *need* 
to, not *want* to. As in "this is utterly broken and is impeding progress / 
has too much maintenance load".

We do not have support in the buildsystem for creating libQt5SerialPort.so.6. 
We could have libQt6SerialPort.so.6 but I really don't want that. The "5" 
there is about Qt 5, not about serial port -- it would have to be elsewhere.

You could make libQt5SerialPort2.so.5.

But since our buildsystem is not backwards compatible, we'll need to keep 
releasing the old version too -- or stop breaking the buildsystem.

Undeprecating API is fine.
