I have not yet talked to those who will likely be the maintainers of Qt 6 in
Fedora, but this is almost exactly how things already work in Fedora for Qt
4 and 5 (except that we use hardlinks instead of symlinks due to multilib
issues, as I explained elsewhere in this thread), so I think that is the
most likely setup for Qt 6 as well (but Fedora will probably continue to use
hardlinks).
