You understood me correctly, that's exactly the approach I was talking about.

But I was also being provocative, to get the exact kind of answer that you 
provided: you simply told us in much better terms why people (like you) need 
to stick to existing versions. That's why the policies came about in the first 
place.

However, we are considering dropping support for anything but the latest when 
a new minor release comes out. The thinking about it is: if you're going to 
upgrade Qt, then you may as well upgrade your compiler. Like you said, you're 
not going to upgrade Qt in a late stage of development.

What's your reaction to that idea?
