This is why at work we use a different branching model, also based on
gitflow but with differences.

For instance, for each major release, we have a release-x.y-stabilization
and a release-x.y-releases. In this case, RIM would have taken 4.8.4 from
release-x.y-releases instead of master. Picture attached.

No, I'm not trying to change Qt's git workflow, just saying we found
gitflow not ready for enterprise development. That picture is not the
global picture btw, only the "zoom" on releasing.
