The jump to QT5.2 was supposed to have been traumatic for the Sailfish team, with no sign of planning for a rebasing appearing since.
Can someone explain what's the Problem with updating a minor release of Qt on Jolla? Do the Sailfish OS Silica components only work with a specific Qt 5.x version? Isn't Qt 5.x supposed to be backward compatible with previous 5.x versions?

So I wonder why Ubuntu Phone already uses Qt 5.4 and Jolla found it difficult to update from 5.1 to 5.2 last year. Or was there any new Qt update within the last 2-3 OS updates in the meantime I missed?
