A few months ago, we moved from 2008 to 2010 because we were using Qt4 for
that project, and there were no official 2012 packages. I do not work
anymore in that project, but the plan was to move to 2012 once the Qt 4 to
5 migration would take place.

My impression is, and experience for that matter, a 2010 to 2012 change is
a common ongoing practice for Qt 5 customers. I have not seen many people
using 2008 with Qt 5.
