I believe the llvm community libc++ uses inline namespaces, but that might not 
have the widespread use and multiple versions required to really get the 
required experience.

I don't think breaking binary compatibility in a 5.x release is a good idea. 
As was said previously, if it's Qt 6, call it Qt 6.

Thanks,
