That is a reasonable proposal. Perhaps they could be an addon to Qt 5.0. To be honest we are still discussing exactly how to move Qt forward with Digia as we only very recently signed our contracts and started getting an overview on the new teams. What I do know is that Digia has shown a real interest in bringing Qt Quick to the desktop so I would say the future of this particular project already looks more promising than it was within Nokia.
There are of course plenty of things left to do before we can release them with Qt. They need to be polished more in Qt5, they need proper documentation, performance improvements, reducing widget dependencies and I guess simplified deployment should be high up on that list as well.
