12 days to go until the first alpha release, it's time to work out some
details.

set(PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR 5) shall I change to 6 now? This is used for
soversions for various internal libs

We've probably discussed but I've forgotted, what minimum version of Qt?
Currently 6.4 is set for most but do we want 6.6?

When is feature freeze?  Before Alpha? Or should we call that soft feature
freeze and have a harder one end of November before the Beta?

plasma-bigscreen - No Qt 6 port, drop?

aura-browser - bigscreen app, Qt 6 port but drop?
plank-player - bigscreen app, Qt 6 port but drop?
plasma-remotecontrollers - bigscreen plugin, Qt 6 port good but drop?

kwrited - can we get rid of this? I remmeber having great fun at uni
writing onto people's terminals but it feels like the write/mesg concept is
something that should die with old school unix.  I got it to work in KDE
neon using xterm after I edited /etc/login.defs but not with konsole or
gnome-terminal

plasma-mobile - good although it would be nice to get confirmation from the
plasma mobile team they want it released at the same time

Niccolo says he wants gamepad-kcm in which i think is
https://invent.kde.org/redstrate/gamepad-kcm that needs kdereviewed pronto
(or just put into plasma-workspace?)

bluedevil - good
breeze - Qt 5 and 6 in one for qt style theme
breeze-grub - good, no change needed
breeze-gtk - "find_package(Breeze 5.14.90 REQUIRED)" should this be updated
to 5.27.80 (it builds and installs fine with Qt 5 or 6 for now)

build using the Plasma/5.27 branch but using a different name (neon uses
qqc2-breeze5-style)

xdg-desktop-portal-kde - good
