We keep discussing the ability to upgrade Qt but not upgrade the rest of the OS. I understand that Qt is a central component of the UI, but it's no less critical than a lot of other components that you may need to upgrade in order to deal with circumstances changing.What you are describing is __exactly__ why companies buy commercial licenses and pay for support contracts. They pay to have their environment supported and not be told that they have to replace their environment.
The terms of the Qt support with a commercial entity (being it TQC or anyone else) have nothing to do with the Qt project decisions.
And, by the way, we're describing scenarios where the environment *has* changed: new hardware, new platforms, new toolchains. You're negating the premise, and thus the argument is a fallacy.
