From the Nokia standpoint the 2.0 release will also find its way into Nokia 
platforms as delivery without Qt 4.7. That's at least the plan :)

I keep seeing emails from customer services where customers end up taking a 
new version of WebKit (snapshots from the trunk even) and ship their 
application together with that and Qt 4.5.

I think it will take more than one iteration to get to the point of time based 
releases. The fact that the two release weeks are close together is a 
coincidence (it really is :). The question becomes: Can we use it to our 
advantage to get more QA?

And what happens to Qt 4.7 if we need more time? I'll try to get an answer to 
that question.
