Yes that would make us (as a commercial user  using a self made port of qt 5.4.1 to wec2013 ) very unhappy. This means 5.6 will be the last version wec2013 would be supported and you would go straight to making a back port very hard or even impossible. Actually we somehow assumed on vs2012  being supported for Qt 5. As we use Qml/QtQuick we would be cut off of this development.
