IMHO ​If it's not​ marked as a big thing, the media and users will
definitely mark this as not important and move over. Inkscape just made a
release that highlights a port to GTK+3 as an important news.

For me this release is more of a "OpenOffice->LibreOffice fork" scale. If
our patch is smaller it's "only" because we have no chaos with German
comments as the original code base :)

It was a huge development and org work to perform the port of Calligra. (In
case of Kexi which is not part of these releases, more than a port is in
the box, there's a lot of polishing and "new" db engine)
I would risk by keeping people in false perception that ports happen by
just running a magical script. If we look at the Plan alone, it depends on
Kexi frameworks that were in development consuming 8 years or so. (We're
still making them KF5-like for the KDE review in 3.1 version).
The readers may be also interested in what a "being a Qt5 app" means (new
tech, more opening to further mobile ports, and after all, a must to be
alive since Qt4 isn't developed anymore).

When the announcement is made I'd add a part for Kexi explaining it has an
independent release schedule.
