Presumably, Qt5 would lead to some new broken api's relative to what has been done in trunk towards the 2.0 release, but confirm if that is a valid assumption or not. If it is, maybe a qgis 2.2 or higher release is a more sensible target for the switch. If not, then it is more a matter of how long transitioning and testing would take.
