This was not my point.  In fact, I've explicitly said that I don't mind
Qt5 being the default, but please keep Qt4 one.

Again, you're missing the point, which is being: application supports
building against Qt4.  Some people prefer it, yet you've removed the
option.  Sure, OK, let's make Qt5 the default, but Qt4 should still be
available as long as application supports it.
