Ok, that's a good reason. And I, after a more thorough check, found out
that the situation is not that bad. Of these 7 projects, 2 have already
been ported to Qt5/KF5, but Fedora doesn't contain the newest releases
yet; 1 is dead; 1 builds both Qt4 and Qt5 version for some reason; and
2 are being ported. That leaves just 1 with an unknown status. I think
I'll revert that change for now to give the projects a bit more time to
finish the porting...
