I didn't ask about Qt3D??

That's the perverse other side of the medal of free OS updates, and the remark surprises me coming from the managing director of a company that sells support...

Linux has always been free, yet do people feel the need not to run anything but the latest version?
The hardware to run the OS on is *not* free, and not all still perfectly functional computers will run the latest software, esp. not if it's a recent OS out of Cupertino.

Anyway, the question was not about needs I feel, but about the official stance, so that I know what to expect (and not to attempt) when I get to updating the MacPorts Qt5 port.
