The important list seems to be: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-53563?

Fully understood, we are in the same boat. Maybe we need to create some 
pressure to get them release it, especially due to the 5.6.0 f***k up on their 
side. And I think you distros are in a better situation to complain than we 
are. You can easily explain the pain you have because of that major f***k up 
which is still not yet fixed in a stable release.
