Seeing that we have support across the board, I'll ask the Gerrit admins to do
the change.
I'll also drop my fix because it's not a security fix.
We can also close all Qt 4.x bug reports that do not apply to Qt 5 and aren't
security issues.

I created a filter for those bugs:

I'll try to do a bulk close of those bugs and reference this thread.
