We cannot afford to not be able to release Krita again for half a year or longer, so we have to find a way to keep releasing a working Krita while keeping the Qt6 port up to date in the face of huge projects like the text shape refactoring.

I agree, this is what concerns me with Kraft as well. It's users are 
also not particularly bleeding edge, so until most distros are shipping 
and working with KF6 having a maintained KDE 5 version is valuable.
