This is now less important, as I managed to update qtubuntu for 5.9 [1]. Now the largest remaining blocker for Qt 5.9 is ubuntu-ui-toolkit. I took a look at it today. Some of the issues were easy to fix (such as QtPlatformSupport restructuring or QFlags API changes), but there are some that would need rewriting a lot of code. For instance, QQmlCompiledData was removed in Qt 5.8, and ubuntu-ui-toolkit uses it. It looks like nobody works on ubuntu-ui-toolkit anymore, so removing it is the only way to move forward. I know it has been demoted to Universe (thanks Didier), but are there any blockers for removing it completely?
