As a completely external user, I would like to support Andre's statement 
here. I have for several periods been using master and found it incredibly 
stable in comparison to all other projects' master/trunk/HEAD/... I have 
used so far.

Furthermore I am hugely impressed by the quick turn-around time on 
bugfixes, feature implementations and also mailing list replies!
(if you ignore the occasional "Nokia(!) should fix my favorite bug right 
now" mail from external users, who rightfully have been pointed to the 
open model of Creator development).

I have to admit though, that I am not using anything related to QML.

Thanks all for providing such a nice product in such an open way!
Frank
