I think just removing the synthesis and handling touch events on 
elements like Flickable, MouseArea, etc should be enough. The flag 
itself is a additional feature, so it can be discarded if no API changes 
are allowed.

Regarding the consequences, all C++ components from now on should also 
handle touch and mouse events if they want to support both, which makes 
sense anyway.

Does Shawn have green flag to fix this?
