Re: 5.24 as LTS
As a contributor I would like to say using 5.18 is fine as long as there are still active backports, but **using Qt 5.12** is problematic and many programs has requirement on 5.15 nowadays. To my knowledge openSUSE Leap 15.3 is still using Qt 5.12 to keep compatibility with Plasma 5.18, as a result, some latest programs cannot be packed for Leap 15.3 anymore.

There's no immediate sign but you must have seen our frameworks being ported to Qt 6... I'm not against it but I'd also want to make sure it won't be a big problem to have concurrent LTS processes.

Re: 5.24 as LTS
I'm in favor. A Plasma LTS release isn't much more work than a normal one, and it's been 6 releases since the last LTS, which was also 6 since its prior one. It seems like we kind of have an "every 6th Plasma release is an LTS" thing going on. 5.12 LTS -> 5.18 LTS -> 5.24 LTS.

I am not sure who the 'late' request was from, but our preference is not newly expressed and still stands. Thanks. Rik
5.24 as LTS
We've had a late request for 5.24 to be an LTS. We had previously said the final Plasma 5 release would be the one before Plasma 6, but there's no immediate sign of a Plasma 6. What do devs think of making 5.24 an LTS? Jonathan
