Quoting André Pönitz:

Ah grace period. Spoken like someone who believes LTS means whatever  
you want on any given second of any given day.

Spoken like an automated test which was simply there to check the box  
rather than actually test anything.

Spoken like someone whose never worked in a production environment  
restricted to official repos. The bulk of the serious development  
using Qt are such environments, not idiot phone apps.
