Fisrt of all, thanks for your hard work for transition.

Just IMHO, having components of Qt5 and Qt6 is (excluding too huge
to build qt*-webengine port) is not at all a problem.

But some ports (sorry, lost track with actually which was) seems to be
conflicting each other.

This would avoid accepting such a coexistense.
So, is it easily possible to rename Qt5 side of conflicting file as
something like *-qt5 and fix their dependencies (Qt5 apps) to use the
modified name?

IMHO, this kind of conflicts could be treated upstream in the future
(i.e. future Qt7 decides to name such files as *-qt7 at the first
place), so renaming Qt6 side would be just a mess.

Regards.
