Hi,

No-one should be pushing to 5.8 any more, but I know that some still do. 
Closing 5.8 means it is easier to push to the right branch. We have talked this 
already many times over. Keeping 5.8 open brings little value, but causes load 
to machines, additional work for people and delay in getting the fixes to users 
(as it is 5.9 where beta snapshots are created from).

For example, on March 1st Lars wrote: “Let’s conclude this topic now by moving 
on towards 5.9 as Tuukka proposed. After some thinking I also agree that this 
is the best course of action from where we are right now. This also implies 
that bug fixes should now get pushed to the 5.9 branch and we should close the 
5.8 branch soon.”

What I am now saying is that it is now time to do what has been discussed. We 
have Qt 5.9 beta out and there is constant focus in getting regular snapshots 
from 5.9. 

Yours,

        Tuukka

    Because, at least in QtBase, everyone is pushing fixes to 5.8?
    
    You saw Thiago's stats.
    
    Thanks,
