The Qt/KDE team has just announced that they want Qt 4 to be removed before the Buster release, and that they are going to put minimal maintenance into Qt 4 before that happens: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2017/08/msg00006.html So this means we should accelerate the transition to Qt 5.
