[Qgis-psc] Qt6 status

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi all,

Nice to see the progress on the ci front, thanks Nyall.
The Qt6 packages for Windows and macOS are also ready to be tested as well
(thanks Jürgen).

I suspect many developers do most of their work with Qt5 (because it's more
efficient looking at the build times) and therefore most testing by core
developers and technical people is done on Qt5 builds.
One thing that could help is to change the default to BUILD_WITH_QT6 as
soon as possible and collect some low hanging fruits.

With the feature freeze less than 3 weeks in front of us and the release in
about two months, I think it's a good point to check if we are on track
with the timeline or if we want to consider an adjustment as pointed out by
Marco earlier in this thread.

Cheers
Matthias
