Let's collect some showstoppers we need to fix before the unmasking will happen, and link to upstream bugs that affect us most.
/usr/portage/targets/desktop/package.use.force forces Qt5 for plasma-meta, can that just be changed to +qt5 in the ebuild and allow people to rid themselves of Qt5 if they choose

Having to un-force is telling them at least they are potentially doing so. Will only be changed once Qt5/KF5-based applications are gone from KDE Gear at least.
