[Interest] Question: Qt6 and the future of GnuWin32

Hello.

As I cant find the Blog Entry where this Question maybe has been answered:

What is / are the future plans about Qt6 and GnuWin32?

1.) As Qt6 no longer comes with the GnuWin32 Package (at least the git
source. I dont know about the pre-built Binary Packages), I now have
downloaded the "latest" GnuWin32 Stuff from download.qt.io - but this
Zip Archive is from February 2019 and also categorized as a "Development
Release".

Everything has the same Version as the Qt5 GnuWin32 Binaries checked out
with git. So probably meaningless and interchangeable for now.

2.) GnuWin32 is officially unmaintained aka dead since 2017.

Do we (the Enduser) take care of this from now on? Do you (Digia / Qt
Project) provide updated compatible Version from time to time? Will (or
better can / should etc.) those dependencies being removerd in the future?

Either way is fine. As long it is clear what is coming.

Yes I know that Qt6 is at least 12-18 Months off and a lot is still in flux.

Thank you
Oliver
