Perhaps DiapDealer can nudge them a bit.
Sigil will remain buildable under Qt 5.15 or so for the next year just to handle much older Linux distributions.
As long as you can still run all your plugins, you should be okay. Test ones that use Qt to do the plugin's gui to see. Try one of Doitsu's qt based ones and our Readium Reader plugin as I know it uses Qt.
If they all continue to work, you should be okay.
But Arch should really be using Qt6.5.2

I was rather disappointed when I saw that. I gave the Arch maintainer plenty of advance notice, I thought. They already have their PageEdit package as a roadmap. He seemed genuinely in favor of it, and thanked me for the info I shared. He indicated he was going to work on putting it together (Qt6). At this point, I have no idea what the resistance might be. I sort of assumed it was a done deal. I still hold out a little hope that an update might happen. I've no idea how many packages he's wrangling.
But yes, Reuben, I think all of 2.0 features will be be available to you with the Arch package. I was back and forth between Sigil Qt5.15.x and Sigil Qt6.5.x quite a bit when doing my testing on my Arch machine.
