Relatedly - but I think it probably deserves separate mention - would
be the defaulting of passing raw bytes to QString to use utf8
encoding. It's a little more involved, but definitely something that
should be 5.0 material. I have a raw patch tackling a lot of this done
locally, I just need to finish massaging QStringBuilder to do my
bidding, polish it up, and push for initial review. I hope to find
time for this done during this week.

Another related item from me, which perhaps I should open a bug
for(?): the deprecation of qMalloc/qRealloc/qFree. Most of this has
actually been done, except for inline uses. I've been holding back on
tackling that further until the containers branch is merged so I have
a clearer picture of what is left to actually fix. I suppose this
isn't considered a 5.0 blocker unless we want to actually remove those
methods rather than just deprecate them though.
