- progressed to the point that we have a mostly working KWrite
- there's still a few pending reviews
- we need a proper solution for QTextCodec (Ahmad has a potential/partial 
solution for ktexteditor, MR upcoming)
- Kirigami's custom items need work: Nico might have something, Tobias to poke 
him to submit that

- Building apps against Qt6 makes sense (in the sense of pilot ports). But all 
used frameworks should be able to be build against Qt6. For KNewStuff this is 
already in progress and will be finished soon.
- all the ongoing work both in KF and apps is temporary and only for our own 
development work to avoid branching, not meant in any way for consumption. 
Might need to be communicated more explicitly.
- 4 to 6 upgrades are not supported for config migration (see https://
phabricator.kde.org/T11584)
- As the task states, the classes should be removed in KF6. But consumers 
should not be bothered with deprecation warnings if they want to keep 
compatibility with really old installs. To warn apps about it disappearing, 
the visibility if the class should be put in a Qt major version check.

- Should be deprecated using a runtime warning in the implicit code path, Qt 
did sth. similar. Ideally this will get it's own logging category.

- extra compiler definitions as such are not a problem, if they don't 
interfere with the build
- let's not make this more complicated than we actually need it

https://phabricator.kde.org/T14370#261207
- could probably be done now already in frameworks/application/Plasma code 
when we exclude deprecated public API from the build

- needs review            

https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/671#note_360363        
- similar to https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kguiaddons/-/blob/master/src/
util/kurlhandler_p.cpp, which is in KGuiAddons
- binaries need to be versioned to be co-installable as long as this is in a 
Framework
