Can anyone with experience chime in if removing support in 6.8 makes sense compared to 7.0? The only thing I'm coming up with is that you don't have to worry about all the other breaking changes associated with a major release but it seems to go against semver doing this before a major release..

The first number only indicates the Qt framework version Plasma is based on. You can treat the second number as the actual major version of Plasma 6.
