At this point we can start having a stabilisation process like we had for Qt4. Basically trunk should always build with the last one or two stable releases (5.0.x in this case) and features that need new qtbase/qtdeclarative APIs should be protected by Qt version check macros. I'm not sure if we need a bot to cover features depending on trunk qt5.git, but I think that the bot should at least run the latest 5.0.x Qt release to catch regression introduced by QtWebKit rather than the rest of Qt.
