Hi,
I guess the whole point of having Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in CI is to support that
platform as long as it is important. As you said it will be important until
16.04 release. I think we could potentially remove 14.04 from CI on dev branch
after Qt 5.7 release. Can't you "ifdef" you code, so it "works" with the older
Wayland too?
Cheers,
Jędrek
