It's been confirmed before it will be opened up. Not sure when, though.

Who refuses to upgrade? Do you have a project in mind?

Afaik Qt6 isn't present even in Ubuntu 21.10.
I have a 2 Qt5 projects on github and moving to Qt6 is very low priority, if at all.

My PyQt5 projects have no hope of being on Qt 6 at this point, since it'd be discourteous to make Flatpak the only distribution channel that has build instructions or testing.

Yup, Debian-based distros sure aren't doing Qt any service...
