What are others thoughts on archiving any project that has not been 
ported to Qt6 or active Qt6 Merge Request / Branch?

Unarchiving projects is always possible, and the source code remains 
available for people to check out read-only and work on. If they start 
working on a port, they can request the project be unarchived.

Justin
