Great -- seems like there's a consensus that 4.8 is the way to go. I've made a pull request which bumps the minimum qt version to 4.8 here: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/1006 I'll leave it to someone more senior to make the final call and merge this in. Nyall

I am also for jumping to 4.8. I think that people using RHEL would still not install QGIS 2 until it settles down a little. Until than RHEL 7 will come out. I think i should have been done when QGIS 2 development began. Ivan Mincik ___ Qgis-developer
