Let's give some dates:
 * Qt 5.4 release -> 2 Dec
 * Plasma 5.2 beta -> 19 Dec (tars)

This seems *very* close to me given that Qt has a quite good track at slipping 
the releases.

So there are two questions here:
 * Is there something in Qt5.4 that makes it clear we want to use it?
 * Do we care if Plasma5.2 is delayed because Qt5.4 is delayed?

Also going with Qt5.4 reduces greatly the amount of people that can contribute 
to those that want to build Qt themselves.

Cheers,
  Albert
