I don't know. A composer API break has impacts on, well ... code and
plugins that use the composer.
If PyQT5 needs Python3, then *all* plugins need to be checked, fixed,
discussed about backward compatibility, etc.

When I try 'apt-cache search qt3' on a recent ubuntu, I only have
compatibility packages for QT4 ... that may be considered a good sign of
obsolescence.

I also agree trying to follow last versions is a good thing. But if it
breaks things, don't do it at the last moment, replacing a release that
is not expected to break.

I don't know. I think we still need at least one 2.x, as expected, 2.10
at a minimum.
