This coupled with Plasma 5.9 at the end of the month will make for an interesting Neon update. Idk if KaOS is also sticking to the latest Qt, but if they do, they're also in for a treat.

I honestly cannot recall the last time Qt was on time. They should really set a release date internally, then announce a public date that is like two or three months later, it will really help to make it look competent. And I say "make it look" because of all the critical bugs remaining unaddressed for months and even years, even thou critical bugs are supposedly release blockers...

That sounds like the freeze date and the release date, so they are already doing that.

Cheers,
