That's not true, we were just lucky that there weren't any incompatible
changes in oe-core, but as soon as 1.6. brings e.g. new cmake, master
branch will work only with master and dora only with dora (because of
.bbappend).

So the same branch names are the only supported combination, if you want
to use meta-qt5/master with oe-core/dylan then you're on your own. It
works now, but only because we're lucky.

There are companies still using 5.0.0 just because they fear to upgrade
or because newer qt versions were released to late for their release
cycle of real hw products. I agree that it would be nice for everybody
to just use latest, but there are still meta-qt5 users which cannot do
that.
