Hi,

What's the status of QAbstractFileEngine these days? Is anyone working on a 
replacement, or are there any plans to remove it completely?

I understand that we dropped it from the public API because of some flaws in 
its design (see the original commit, [1]). Anyhow, we're using it quite 
extensively in the installer framework, and running our own abstraction would 
be quite some tedious work. So far we just include the private header, which is 
actually even properly exported since 5.1.0 ... If it stays like this I'm fine, 
I just don't want to be surprised by some last minute change dropping it from 
the codebase ;)

Regards

Kai
