That is really nice to read. Thanks for that!
The Qt transition is through here already. I was able to update to Qt
6.9.2 earlier today already. I think that makes it one of the fastest Qt
transitions for me I have ever seen. Kudos for that!
Of course for a different set of installed packages it may still take a
while. But from looking at the transition page it looks quite complete for
commonly used architectures¹.
