I don't know, ask the Qt developers.  Anyway, it's probably better to do
these kinds of upgrades on a separate branch to allow regressions to be
fixed without leaving 'master' broken in the meantime.  We can ask hydra
to build another branch and check for regressions there before merging
to master.
