Can I request that https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-43269 and
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-45328 be fixed in 5.4? At present,
one must employ hackish work-arounds (in one case, using low-level GL
functions directly) for these in order to use QOpenGLWidget and
QOpenGLFramebufferObject together, which seems like a not-so-trivial
flaw in that subsystem.

It's possible that current distros will pick up 5.4.2 soon after it is
released, but 5.5.x may not be available until 2016.

(On a related note, I'd really love to see a fix for
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-38599 in 4.8.7. Yes, 4.x; Qt4 is
going to be around for a while yet, especially in LTS distros, and this
is a fairly painful bug.)
