Great work carewolf and co. Looking forward to moving from 5.9 up to 5.12!

I hope this means Maya 2019 will be released finally. It's been well over 15 months.

There already is a patch under review, they just refused to merge it into 5.12.0. See: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/245130/

Yes, because the fix causes other issues, and it's not even clear it's the right way to go. Read the discussion in the review you linked! For Qt to release regularly (everyone complained about that not happening), things like this _cannot_ hold up releases for more than few days at most.

In general I hate QML because it's the fast food of Qt software apps - it allows devs to shit out apps quicker, look nicer but less responsive and sometimes with hickups because of the intricacies of QML (e.g. in gnome when you click for the first time after booting on the clock - it shows up instantly, in Plasma 5 it takes 1-2 seconds).

No, that is not because of QML, but because you have PIM integration active. If you don't use Kontact/Korganizer or just don't want to see your meetings highlighted in the clock's calendar you can disable "PIM Events Plugin" from the clock's settings.
