I wouldn't mind if Assistant would actually be moved to a different 
repository. But so far, it is only a suggestion.

Do you want to remove it from "Qt 6", from "Qt 6.0", or from "Qt 6.0.0"? 
There has been no deprecation of this Qt feature AFAIK.

If you want to remove it from "Qt 6", then there is no need for CI.
