Is this only about Open Source installer or also Commercial one? I'm on Qt
5.12.5 (Commercial) and will continue using this version potentially for
years to come (yeah it sucks but it's not my choice). So it would be nice
to still have it in the installer. I can compile it myself, I know I know,
but the installer is just a lot more convenient.
