Modules that exit from production-ready status need to go through the 
deprecation ladder: first Done, then Deprecated (with possibly a replacement), 
and then finally Removed. The package should be made to compile with future 
versions of Qt. That's what we did for Qt Script Classic, Qt Assistant ADP, 
QHttp, QFtp, etc.

However, let's be clear: QtJsondb never achieved "production-ready" status. It 
never left "pre-alpha" state and was never released. There's no one using it. 
Simply remove the link from qt5.git and leave the repo to rot.
