Please correct me if I'm wrong: the feature which will break API was added in 5.6.0, and we can say that most of the people out there are not using it.
Ideally API/ABI should not be broken without a SONAME change. If I had some Qt5 app using it already I would be forced to do a hack in our packaging: faking a SONAME change. Now it just happens that we in Debian haven't pushed 5.6 to unstable yet (we are waiting for 5.6.1) so it's not a problem for us now. It will be if pushed with 5.6.2 instead of 5.6.1. Of course I'm only speaking for us Debian, I don't know the impact on other distros. -- Wiki participants are, by nature, a pedantic, ornery, and unreasonable bunch.
