    Description

      src/corelib/plugin/qplugin.h contains the following Qt 5 to-do note:

      qplugin.h
      // NOTE: if you change pattern, you MUST change the pattern in
      // qlibrary.cpp as well.  changing the pattern will break all
      // backwards compatibility as well (no old plugins will be loaded).
      // QT5: should probably remove the entire pattern thing and do the section
      //      trick for all platforms. for now, keep it and fallback to scan for it.
      #  ifdef QPLUGIN_DEBUG_STR
      #    undef QPLUGIN_DEBUG_STR
      #  endif
      #  ifdef QT_NO_DEBUG
      #    define QPLUGIN_DEBUG_STR "false"
      #    define QPLUGIN_SECTION_DEBUG_STR ""
      #  else
      #    define QPLUGIN_DEBUG_STR "true"
      #    define QPLUGIN_SECTION_DEBUG_STR ".debug"
      #  endif
      #  define Q_PLUGIN_VERIFICATION_DATA \
          static const char qt_plugin_verification_data[] = \
            "pattern=" "QT_PLUGIN_VERIFICATION_DATA" "\n" \
            "version=" QT_VERSION_STR "\n" \
            "debug=" QPLUGIN_DEBUG_STR;
      ...
      

      If this can be resolved without breaking source-compatibility, it should be done for Qt 5.0.0. If not, the comment should be updated to Qt 6 or removed.
