Reason: Qt5 upstream OSS support ended on 2020-12-08. Public availability of commercial 5.15 LTS releases is delayed by 1 year since then. The final release happened on 2025-05-19, which means a) we will not get it until 2026-06-19, b) any bugs discovered since last May will not be fixed and c) no bugs since 2020-12-08 that haven't also been affecting Qt6 were fixed at all. Bug 948836
