It *may* be possible to get a community-supported CI set up for 10.7 (where community probably implies KDE/KF5).

That sounds reasonable, but I also think that there is little point in supporting QtBase on 10.7 if QtGui or QtWidgets don't work there ...

Heh, that can be interpreted both ways, no? From Apple's viewpoint this probably means "Fine, just support the last version of the OS only and get out of our way already", no? ;)
