Bumping Qt versions is... a fairly difficult process in fedora, 
unfortunately.  The primary reason is that there are many packages that use 
Qt private api's the require rebuilding for every release.  Quick check just 
now in rawhide is that a full Qt5 version update requires (re)building at 
least 78 packages.

So, we (kde-sign, Qt maintainers) generally update strategically where it 
makes sense to warrant the time investment in doing so.
