What are the implications for feature freeze if dev is still broken?

Thanks!

As I understand it, there are several remaining steps to convert to a Qt Tech Preview, most of which I need help with.
1) Move /playground/qtremoteobjects to /qt/qtremoteobjects (need The Qt Company help here)
1a) Be ideal to create to rename the master branch to dev at this point (need The Qt Company help here)
2) Enable CI against the repository (need The Qt Company help here)
3) Submit a change to the qt5 repo to add QtRO (depends on #1 and #2)

I’ve started #3 here: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/183053, but until the repo is moved, I’m unable to add it as a submodule.
