I would like to have building as easy as possible. If we go for Qt 5.4 in master after branching it would mean we depend on unreleased software and that means hours and hours of compiling and linking fun for every developer. That's especially something to keep in mind for attracting new developers and the upcoming Google CodeIn (assuming it will happen). So for me it's a -1 for having master depend on unreleased Qt.
