The process could be (using the current branches and os versions as examples):

- Add 10.12 to dev.
- Stabilize/fix/blacklist (backport changes to 5.9)
- Qt is now tested on 10.12. Also the 5.9 codebase, since it is similar to dev.

- Then add 10.12 to 5.9
- With less disruption since Qt already has been stabilized.
