I just added the following "-1" comment on gerrit: 

I do not agree with this change. We have made a difference between public API 
and plugin API, and this is different from private implementation detail.

The rest of the Lighthouse team are also skeptical. The main issue, as far as I 
can see, is documentation. This can be solved much in a much simpler way by 
using the \internal tag, as discussed earlier. There should also be a warning in 
the _qpa.h files, but it shouldn't be the "don't even think of using this file"
 warning from the _p.h file; these files are there for platform plugin authors 
to use.
