I'm going to ask for silent consensus on the proposal, which I reiterate:
* 2026-2027: toolchains 14.44 (VS2022), 14.50, sliding 14.51-53
* 2028-2029: toolchains 14.50, 14.54, sliding 14.55-57
* 2029-2030: toolchains 14.54, 14.58, sliding 14.59-61

This would mean Qt 6.12 still supports VS2022, but Qt 6.16 (Oct 2028) does 
not.
