If I look at the table from https://codereview.qt-project.org/178906 , it 
could be classified as "Using new C++ features" or "Enabling new compiler 
features" or "Refactoring: non-test code". Maybe to "Performance: Issue 
related to best practices", all of them point to "dev".
Why do you think this change should go in another branch?

Maybe it could be classified under "Bugs: Other", but i don't think it fixes a 
bug.
