And "There's the rub". 10.x will be released and then the updated QT5,
forcing users who wish to use the newer version to do what could amount
to a rather time consuming installation of the newer port and the
recompiling of the ports that are then affected. Poor planning at
it's best, yet one that FreeBSD engineers continually implement.

A far sounder method would be to have QT5 ready prior to the release of
10.x which would allow users who either do a fresh installation or an
upgrade of their present system to avoid that unnecessary down time.
