I do not like the idea of being held back from upgrading minimal
requirements by one distribution. I think it is fairly reasonable to
expect that only older software will work with older distributions.
Moreover, I guess the share of CentOS/Redhat users is quite low even
just among linux users because it is mainly server oriented. And even
then those users should not have trouble installing newer Qt from
third-party packages.

Finally, newer versions of Qt are also more stable - with a release of
new minor Qt version the older branch typically stops receiving
further bugfixes.
agreed fully - with tens of Linux distros, keeping with the one with the oldest 
Qt is
a major drawback.
besides this, I think we should move forward with a decision: having the same
discussion as one year ago, and not taking a decision, would be pointless.
in short: +1 for 4.8, please send your opinion.
all the best.
