If they must stick in the past for various reasons (financial or others) then they can just use Qt4, it works just fine for Mac OS 10.6 or even Qt5 released versions. Why such users would care of modern Qt5 applications?

I think it’s fairly relevant as a response to a claim that Qt on Mac works fine on existing/previous Qt versions, when that’s not entirely the case. At the very least, we may have different definitions of the term “works fine”.

It is another topic, a topic which I’ve tried to raise on this list before with very limited interest, much like my recent letter to Digia on the same topic.

Anyways. Thanks for the responses - I’ll leave the subject before I get too unpopular ;-)
