What's the rationale breaking rhe tree?
Is there any internal tool to prevent such a situation to occur?

Nice heads-up for unmasking option.

However media-gfx/freecad could have kept qt5 as default with unmasked qt6 option.
It would have bring a better continuity to the upgrade process.

Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.

Getting rid of pyside2 was way overdue, that package been nothing but problems and it really had to go.

I do agree that the current vtk packaging for USE=qt5/qt6 (causing your issue) is pretty trash though, unfortunately nothing really been moving on that end... albeit I vaguely recall there was talk that the next version won't even support qt5 so.

In future, can you please avoid using terms like "zealots" and assuming something is broken, and instead just ask about how to proceed?
