I think we also have to be mindful of build times at some point. That Qt5/Qt6 duplication eats up a sizable percentage of a bulk build. And it only ever seems to grow. > I think this depends on how long we want ship editors/calligra and how > long the marble (x11/kde-applications/marble) needs to move to Qt6/KF6. I don't mean to be flippant, it's a serious question: who actually cares about calligra and why? At some point we will need to rip off the band aid. What prevents us from doing so right now? Similar question about marble. Can it not be disabled until it achieves that transition? I seem to remember that it was deemed critical in the past, but, really, is it?
