I've seen discussions of work done on an Oxygen style for QtQuick.Controls, 
which wouldn't make much sense if there weren't a matching one for QtWidgets.

I doubt QSS will be dropped as long as QtWidgets remains and this in turn 
won't be dropped for quite some time since so much Qt software depends on it.

I read somewhere, but can't unfortunately remember where, that someone is 
working on an "asset based style", basically a QStyle plugin that loads 
various things from "assets", most likely images.
