So if I understood it correctly, the plan is to export the whole C API
and then have a small subset of it available through QML which will
cover most of application use cases. That sounds more than sensible and
I'd bet that it will make most of the users happy.

But, the potential issue I see is that the C API does not currently look
as stable as it was supposed to be (because of the recent changes in WK2
governance). I don't know much about the Qt project policies but I guess
that if you provide some API in a stable release you'd have to support
it for some releases. What's the plan for that?
