Comment (by mark-kendall):

 re macOS port

 This doesn't really change anything - although I forgot to add adding
 support for VideoToolBox - which is the replacement for VDA.

 As you say, OpenGL will be around for a while. In the meantime, we will
 hopefully get some Vulkan support alongside OpenGL (Qt 5.12 started adding
 Vulkan code) and then make use of something like MoltenVK - which is a
 Vulkan wrapper around Metal. Without Qt support for Metal, I can't see how
 we can use it directly atm - or it would be a big ask of someone to write
 code from the ground up.
