Hi,

For the modules list:
- QtPlatformSupport is a helper library for people writing platform 
backends. It is not intented to be a publicly visible Qt Module.
- qtrepotools: A collection of scripts for releases and developers

 >Also, what are the areas needing more attention and feedback? Anything
 >we want to prioritize in the release notes?

 From the point of view of Windows, it should mention that:

- QtTranslations: Not done yet (all platforms), that is, Qt & Module 
translations will NOT work
- QtWebKit on Windows builds only WebKit 1 (if at all)
- ActiveQt at this point of time is only partially functional
- I am not sure what the status of the former Mobility modules is wrt 
Window, whether backends are implemented & working
- QtJsonDB and QtWayland are UNIX only.

Maybe we should mention that Qt Creator is used as a reference project 
of sorts and the team tries to keep the master branch of it compiling 
and working against Qt 5. So, it becomes visible what kind of porting 
support is required.

Also  qtbase/bin/fixqt4headers.pl should be mentioned as a tool to 
quickly port existing source code  and get a first impression.

So, if no one objects, I will add those points?

Regards,
Friedemann
