Consider changing conda feedstock to PySide6

I apologize if I should have raised this on the feedstock repository, but it seemed much less active, so I thought this was a more appropriate forum. My team maintains a package that consumes qtconsole as a dependency. With Qt 5.15 approaching EOL we have migrated to Qt 6.8 with PySide6 as our API provider. However qtconsole brings in PyQt targetting version 5.15, which causes issues on some platforms. PyQt bindings to Qt > 5.15 are currently unavailable in conda-forge (this is why we opted for PySide). With Qt 5.15 reaching end of life I wondered if it might make sense to change the requirement in the feedstock to PySide6, or another API provider with bindings to a current version of Qt as my impression is that qtconsole is API agnostic.
@ezra-varady, please use the qtconsole-base conda-forge package along with PySide6. That will give you what you need because that package is basically this package without any Qt binding attached to it.
And for next time, please post your question in the appropriate repo. Thanks!
