[Development] HEADS-UP: Branching from 'dev' to '6.9' done & Qt 6.9 Feature Freeze is in effect

[Volker Hilsheimer]

Approved in release team meeting just now. Please cherry-pick the change manually, with other required changes that didn’t land in 6.9 yet (seems that change alone results in a merge conflict in 6.9).
