I still think there is a bit too much hassle to get in the copyright changes 
(they touch about every file) but take out a rather large number of changes 
that are done after 4.8.3 but before the copyright changes.

For that reason we have prepared a similar copyright changes source file 
manually based on 4.8.3. It is now in testing and we would be soon ready to 
release it.

As said, the reason to do this are the fact that we have to do the copyright 
change, but wish to minimize the work and concentrate on Qt 5.0. Later when we 
do the 'real' 4.8.4 the copyrights are right as they are changes in the repo.

So my preference is still to pick one of the options #1 - #3.

Yours,

              Tuukka
