in my former projects *no* product update which uses a new qt version 
(minor or patch) would go out to customers without a full manual QA. 
this not only applied to qt, but to every other component in order to 
ensure the quality of the product.

the QA step in a release process could only be bypassed under very 
special conditions, e.g. when the changeset has a minimal number of 
moving parts
