You push to testing, people test, get it tested and... then what ? Extras should by definition not contain/force on people untested stuff with known breakage potential. That is not mean that we cannot change definitions, just saying that we have to be clear about that :) > Who is in charge of the qt experimental? What is the current "schedule" for > it?

Currently there is a slight vacuum - unlike the previous jump with QML, 4.7 updates are not significantly different from the one in the PR to warrant anyone from linking to it, and the the to-be-4.8 has no high-profile new features available for devs yet. As for what happens in extras(-devel) with the new versions, it's certainly a community coordinated effort and AIUI the Council has a large (pretty much final) word on that. As you yourself said it, it's in everybody's interest to have the latest & greatest Qt stuff available not just as gitoriousware, but in an easily testable dev-friendly binary form, too.
