Yes, the idea is to make a binary compatibility break, fix a couple of things 
accummulated over the 5.x lifetime, but almost no source compatibility 
changes. The big discussions we're having are all under the hood, such as 
whether the Qt containers should copy-on-write or copy-on-copy.

Yeah, there are a handful of patches by him that missed the 5.9.1 branching. 
5.9.2 should come soon after the Summer break, when the Finns come back from 
their 4-week-long vacations.
