It is not too late. 
When we do a SIC change in the public API, the proplem we have within qt-
project are not our main concern.  
The bigger concern is all the "customers" using it.  They need to do it all at 
once, and they have a lesser knoweldge about the required changes than we.

So we can still make it less intrusive for others.
