(I thought that it is obvious, but it seems to be not the case, so:)
I mean that we want to prepare and improve the API for Qt 6, so we
need to add some signals and mark some others as deprecated. This is a
well-known procedure and it is not an ABI breakage for a regular (e.g.
not "no-deprecated") build. What I'm proposing to do is basically to
apply for QAbstractSocket the same API changes as done in [1] for
QProcess.
