Yep,

for us, we need to keep that around as least as long as the official support is there,
and sorry, I have neither the time nor the knowledge to find out what is needed
to make forkfd working with the old kernel :/

I would try to stick with Qt 5.4 longer, but that is not possible as other major bugs
only will get fixed in 5.5. like https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-44511

Now we have either the pain to backport a lot of fixes to 5.4 (without that you crash
any Qt app by plugin in a projector) or try to fix that other stuff ;=)

Just filled some support issue, lets see.

Greetings
Christoph
