It is the intention that we do this. But we're constantly running, not beside 
our horse, but after it. We have just begun activating ourselves to discuss 
about 5.10 platforms and we have FF coming up in two weeks (counting out July 
here).
It took months to blacklist all the cases for 10.12 alone. So yes, I agree that 
how we do this is not good, but at some point we find it good enough. I ran qt5 
builds through twice without failures and deemed it fit. Before that I kept 
blacklisting everything I saw (which actually isn't good either).

Dev branch is actually the place where they should be put yes. Unfortunately we 
are too late for that. We need 10.12 in 5.9, and for it to still be in dev 
branch, we should have put it in January. We were still working with our 5.8 
platforms at that time. As I said...the horse is running away from us 😉

Introducing a new configuration to the CI system should be considered a 
development task, subject to the usual branch policies. Can we establish that 
this happens in dev first, ideally before the feature freeze?
