I'd actually like to preempt this discussion with something we've been
discussing internally too in the past few days, while trying to define what "Qt
5" exactly is (note: we still don't know, we plan on discussing at the QCS).
Still, your input is valuable.
We want to limit the scope of what the core of Qt is to very few modules that
are needed to make applications, without being a lowest-common denominator
solution. That is, something like "useful for 90% of the applications
everywhere". In this current thinking (which is less than 12 hours old),
everything else should be Addons, including things that the people working at
Nokia do -- and that includes certain portions of current Qt 5 and Qt
Mobility.
Contributions from non-Nokians are most definitely welcome into the Addons and
to the core. But the point is that, if you make this really useful set of
classes for doing something non-mainstream, you can make it available for your
fellow developers. And you should be able to reuse the infrastructure for
reviews, testing, releasing, etc. Provided, of course, you follow the same
governance model as the rest and follow the same values.
