Congratulations on the download numbers!

Not to rain on your parade,  but high download numbers for armv5 is not 
necessarily positive though.
I've said this before, but as I think it is important, I'll just say it 
again.

For many the low-end armv5 experience will not be good, not because of 
Qt/Necessitas, but because memory/speed and other hardware issues.   
However, many users are also likely to blame Qt/Necessitas for it and it 
will get a bad reputation that will hang on those users mind long after 
they are no longer using armv5.    Just look at what happened to Nokia 
when they tried to push phones with low memory and CPU for a long 
time.   Also Nokia Store user reviews for Qt apps are filled with one 
star reviews because the Qt download failed for some old device.

So personally I'm not going to even offer armv5 builds, and I'd go as 
far as vote for disabling it in Necessitas for a future release, now 
marking it deprecated.

Just my 2 cents,

Harri
