> As part of this I have also updated the list of projects with Qt 6 only master branches. Any residual Qt 5 build artifacts the CI system was holding for those projects have now been purged, which may impact downstream projects that depend on those projects that are still on Qt 5.

> On an adjacent note, i'd also like to schedule removing CI support for release/23.08 and Plasma/5.27 builds (by purging all their binaries we currently hold) for the Qt 5.15 series. 
> 
> While checking however I note that several projects still have activity on those branches. Can we please confirm whether any further releases are expected, as i'd prefer to remove anything that isn't being properly maintained anymore.
