Switching from an older version of OS X or XP to some version Linux is not an option and it's not even a valid suggestion.

Lets just be very clear that it is his plugin and he may do whatever he wants. And if his plugin needed calibre2.x features to thrive, then it sucks to be an XP user.
Since it doesn't, I don't see the harm in allowing its use... but that is a different issue. And the developer is still king and can literally do whatever the hell he wants with it.
Also while we are at it, why don't we confuse calibre 2.x with Qt5?
Regarding linux as "not an option and not even a valid suggestion", please take your insensitive foulness elsewhere, you are helping nothing.
(And I have already explained a far more reasonable perspective on that issue.)
