Correct. > We'd have to update the Qt library for all builds (3.0.1 and above) and the > dev builds simultaneously.

If you're after avoiding to do extra builds any point release should do. I don't see a big issue - we'd just publish a new Qt on a point release along with the new qgis builds that already use them - as long QGIS is the only dependant. > >> So I'd hate to see the Windows builds locked to 5.9 indefinitely. > > Windows is not the only platform.
