Do they backport fixes to Qt 4? It looks like the Qt 4 repo has received some security updates, but their policy on supporting old releases seems to be "maybe": https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qt.git/ As compared to the current repo: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qt5.git/ I'm not sure how other distros handle it. I assume they backport as well as they can if there are no patches in Qt 4 repo. I think it's okay to keep using the old version, but that we should try to use the current version where we can.
