I don't really see why it is "against the nature of KF5". It would not be the first time we require a higher compiler version than the one required by the Qt version we require. Qt 5.5 requires gcc 4.8 for linux and windows. So even they increment the versions from time to time. We can switch everything to Q_NULLPTR even without anyone complaining about it, but we will have to switch back in a few releases. Cheerio, Ivan
