If your point is that there are still Q_WS_QWS defines in src/widgets you are
right, but all (some doc snippets are left) *_qws.{cpp,h} were removed, the
gfxdrivers are gone too.

Right now the migration is single process => eglfs, multiprocess =>
directfb|wayland|xcb. What QWS functionality would you desperately miss?

The plugin has not been updated after some directory moving, it is not
integrated in the build process and does not build right now.
