My most sincere apologies if our timeframe do not fit yours. Now, wrt the decision: clearly the situation is very complex, involving many different kinds of arm64 devices, drivers, libraries et all. People involved have different opinions. We so far have been the proxy between them, be it on bugs, IRC or whatever other channels our users have to contact us. We prefer not to be this proxy anymore (again, read below). Besides we (Qt's team) have just learned that the Desktop/ES support is not tied to the hardware but to the driver. That's a particularly interesting point. So: To quote my original mail, the "Qt available for both Desktop and ES OpenGL flavours" point remains unchanged: if someone wants to make it happen [s]he must join the team and support it from the inside. Remember there are little chances for this to happen in time for Buster. For the second point, "If no change is possible, keep arm64 with Desktop OpenGL support", we have this position: we will keep the status quo, deferring users who want GLES support to Ubuntu. *But* we are open to change this for any arch (read it: support either one or the other technology) as long as the decision is taken by the technical committee. As I wrote before, we will keep the status quo, so if anyone is interested in any change feel free to contact the TC.
