Right, you have until early January if you want to get this in 5.9. Otherwise, 
it will be in for the next release (5.10).

Breaking will not be allowed.

We need the functionality without breaking anything. I'm expecting this to add 
a new couple of classes that are locale-based calendaring and convert to and 
from QDate. Whether you implement changes to QCalendarWidget and/or Qt Quick 
Cotrols is up to you.

PS: this discussion belongs in the development at qt-project.org mailing list.
