There's no secret decision. Please see the thread "Qt LTS & C++11 plans".

WinCE / EC 6, 7 and 8 will be dropped from Qt 5.7. WinEC 2013 will still work, 
as it is a target from MSVC 2012.

That doesn't mean it will work for QtSerialBus. Given Alex's change, it most 
likely won't.

The "RT" in WinRT is stands for "runtime", not "real time".

Almost everything for WinRT needs to be reimplemented from scratch, as the 
normal Win32 API is not available for applications.
