That's exactly what Tuukka proposed we do. We keep 5.9.0 on schedule and,
because of that, 5.8.1 becomes impossible and unnecessary.

So people who cannot upgrade to 5.8.0 because of bugs would have to wait for
5.9.0 and hope that there will be no other regressions. Great.

Or wait for 5.9.1.

So let me play the devil's advocate: 5.9.1 also will be canceled for similar arbitrary reasons like vacation plans.

Guys, by not delivering bugfix releases for arbitrary reasons we are risking to kill Qt's credibility as reliable toolkit. Our users trust in getting bugfix releases.

Ciao,
