Would distributions have an issue if KF 5.77+ would require Qt >= 5.14 (instead of >= 5.13 as of now)?

Hi,
thanks everyone for your replies so far, shaping the picture of where we are.

So far no-one of those who replied in the last three days would have issues*.
Sounds promising.
Just, KF 5.77 is going to be tagged this upcoming WE. And meanwhile it would
feel too rushed to me to push for a bump to Qt 5.14 as minimum version already
now, I would feel better if people had something like 2 weeks time to comment
on this (think being on vacation or only having 1 day per week for KDE).
So I will adapt and officially go to propose to do that bump in time for KF
5.78 then.
* The only project which has issues with Qt 5.14 is also having issues with Qt
5.13 (Krita sees breakage with QMdi on Windows for Qt > 5.12)
Cheers
Friedrich
