[Interest] How long is QMatrix obsolete?

[André Somers]

Why would you think that? For what yse of QMatrix is QTransform not an (almost) drop-in replacement with more capabilities? I think it is perfectly reasonable to remove QMatrix in Qt 6, including all methods in other classes that take a QMatrix as an argument. The same goes for QRegExp by the way.
