Will EPEL 6 get the new LTS Qt release?

Qt has recently decided to make 5.9 their new LTS release, but epel 6 is still on version
5.6, is it the final version or will 5.9 be packaged sometime in the future?

[Stephen John Smoogen]

QT5 is shipped by RHEL/CentOS with EPEL only shipping a couple of
extra libs that Red Hat does not bundle up. If RHEL/CentOS move to 5.9
in RHEL-7.n then the 2-3 packages in EPEL will also get moved to 5.9.
Otherwise it will be with whatever RHEL ships.

Definite maybe, but no immediate plans.  What rhel7 does will likely affect 
the decision on what to do with epel-6 too.
