You are about to remove a recipe I need very very very often. As you
can see in meta-qt5-extra I use my build for making music. You end up
in calling this other peoples problem (e.g mine) and don't really care
of any replacement. Thank you - I will send out a removing me as
maintainer for meta-xfce - fun times are definetely over.

And please don't even think about running your magic script for
meta-qt5-extra or send patches.

Over and out

Andreas
