Agreed that adding magic to import PyQt4 or PyQt5 would not make things
better. Plugin developers still would need to be aware of that and couldn't
use new functionality from Qt5 anyway. QGIS 3 will supposedly introduce API
cleanup, so the plugins will need to be adjusted anyway (some more, some
less).
