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
Deprecated by Andreas Sturmlechner on 2025-08-20
Reason: Masked for testing the new .0 version and leave time for packages to catch up on support. Will likely be kept masked until 6.11.1 is released unless there is a notable reason to need this earlier. If wanted, feel welcome to add `dev-qt/*:6/6.11.0` to package.unmask and report issues.
