Gunnar already answered this, but I¹ll repeat it somewhat: We¹ve put a
reasonable amount of work into stabilizing 5.2, and are fairly confident
that it¹s of acceptable quality by now. Pushing any change into that has
an inherent risk of regression (I can say certainly say that we found more
than our fair share of bugs along the way during this upgrade, and are
still running into some new ones from time to timeŠ :))

That doesn¹t mean further upgrades won¹t happen in the future, it just
means they won¹t happen immediately. When precisely they happen will
depend on when we can spare effort to it (which in turn depends on what
benefits we get out of itŠ) and the quality of the upstream releases.

This might sound strange and all, but do realize that we are probably one
of the most extensive users of the Qt stack (in that we literally use
pretty much all of it) ­ and certainly one of the most extensive users of
QtQuick & QML. We¹re a pretty good stress-test for finding corner cases,
so we need to be careful.

On the bright side, I¹m fairly confident that future upgrades will be less
painful, as part of the pain was also on our side in that we rushed a few
things to get to market last year, and we paid the price in doing that
work properly.

BR,

Robin
