I held some updates in the last few months because those were crashing for me and I was not able to fix it. This version is not crashing.

Don't see a good reason to force everyone to use an old version. Anyway the ports tree is open source, nothing stops anyone from proposing (with himself as maintainer) a new port for the old version calling it "ghostwriter-qt5" or whatever.
