Hi Marc,
I can understand your viewpoint, but unfortunately keeping 5.8 open does cause
additional load to the systems as well as people. It would be great if you
would rather focus into improving Qt 5.9 and making it good for our users than
pushing stuff into a branch that has no further releases planned from it.
Can you explain why you can not push your Qt Base changes to 5.9 like ~everyone
else?
Yours,
Tuukka

To elaborate: I run a bleeding-edge compiler. It feels odd to me that
the best branch to run it on
is a non-bleeding-edge branch, it's quite the opposite.
