I asked openSuse and it does not sound as if they are planning to retire 
Qt 5 soon [1]:

I agree with Ben that we should try to drop Qt 5 in CI. It is a chicken 
and egg problem. The projects don't feel any pressure to finally move to 
Qt 6 thus the numbers don't get down.
What about Krita, is there a Qt 6 release available?
