Particularly because we realised that we did not do all the "### Qt 6" changes 
for 6.0. This time around, we're actually making the changes right now. Many 
of the changes can be added to Qt 6 itself, if they are simple overloads, and 
those benefit most people. Some others can't and must instead be hidden with 
#ifdef.

The point of this thread is to discuss what work we should do now, if neither 
option above can apply or if it becomes too ugly to maintain.
