Amen. I would like to add that this decision, made behind closed doors, does not match well with Qt-as-an-open-governance-project. In particular, it feels like we OSS contributors are being held hostage here. If you close the 5.8 CI, anything we can do, incl. following the dictate of TQC to focus on 5.9, will hurt Qt users one way or another. Either we fragment Qt by releasing a 5.8.1 without TQC backing or we leave users hanging in the air for extended periods of time without the ability for bugfixes. Both are unacceptable, IMHO.
