Thanks for the comments, Robin

Still unfortunately they don't tell what to do with the apps I already
submitted. Again, launch date is special, normally I could wait a week to
clarify the situation.

Right now I have a Flashlight app under QA that uses QtSystemInfo and
qt5-qtgraphicaleffects and *correctly Requires them in .yaml/.spec*. The
app is under QA, so not sure if it will pass. And looking at the review
times (My Wikipedia is under QA for 9 days already) I would certainly not
like to reenter the submission queue if possible.

*So what are my options?*
- App should still work for launch day, correct it later?
- The app isn't even going to be approved, correct it now?

*And how to correct?*
- Don't use qt5-qtgraphicaleffects and QtSystemInfo and that's it?
- Bundle them into app's own shared libraries?.. then a bit of instructions
for such standard Qt modules won't hurt.

Cheers,
Artem.
