FWIW with my Canonical hat we would appreciate a 5.2.x release with https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-36430 and https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-36289 fixed. We can distro- patch but having it in an official release makes it easier for everyone.

[Development] Bug fixes to Stable or Dev branch?
Hi, I've seeing contradictory advice on Gerrit as to which branch to push bug- fixes to, some say there will be no 5.2.2 so to use dev instead, others say to keep using stable in case there is. What is the current official policy? Oh, and please remember when making such decisions to clearly communicate them to this list, not everyone is in the office or on IRC. Thanks!

Re: [Development] Bug fixes to Stable or Dev branch?
For now the policy is still to push to stable. We haven’t made any decision on whether to do or not do a 5.2.2 release yet, but it’s something we need to figure out rather soon.
