We would first have to agree that Qt5 belongs in oe-core with 
appropriate level of maintenance and QA, and that it's okay to add half 
an hour or more to the building time of a standard GUI image.

 From the screenshots of LxQT, it looks like yet another Win95 clone 
meant strictly for desktop use that would certainly scale poorly to 
small resolution screens. Who would be the target audience for it in the 
embedded space? For the purposes of 'engineering UI', Sato is fine, and 
we don't need something else.
