Correct. Consider the following workflow: the user installs the latest
Qt 5.7 from binary packages and builds the latest KF5 from Git. He
will only need gcc-4.5. But if we bumped KF5 requirements to gcc-4.7,
then the user would need to update gcc for no good reason.

Mark,
In my opinion you had to start this kind of discussion with
emphasizing the new features in Qt 5.{6,7} and in new versions of
compilers that would help us make KF5 better. For me this is still
unclear.
