Thanks for the quick responses. Tbh I haven't played "much" with Qt6. I am 
also assuming that this the first initiative in a KDE project to port to Qt6. 
All I am doing so far is look for whats changed and what others are discussing 
about it. I've built some examples from the Qt6 docs and that seems fine to 
catch up. I have worked with Qt5 Network Manager and some other modules and 
that seems like I can port it to Qt6. 

The points are clear. One question I had was with Qt XML Patterns. Seems like 
Qt6 doesn't support this and I am not sure how to replace it's current usages 
in the code-base. 

I'll ask more once I unroll other points as well.

Thanks
Anjani
