The fix of the blocker got merged into qtbase 5.12. But the issue of ci/coin is not fixed yet. Talked with Oswald on Friday, we agreed to keep qtbase 5.12 lock a bit longer.

I staged a few times from Friday night to now, got some changes integrated and found some issues in them. Do you have some changes need to stage?

Recently the qtbase integration takes a bit longer, 2.5 hours like https://testresults.qt.io/coin/integration/qt/qtbase/tasks/1543678216 , is a bit lucky. More details see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTQAINFRA-2161 .
