Being hosted on qt-project.org does not make them 'part of Qt', no. What is 
'part of Qt' is what we tag and release together. 

Not being part of a Qt release means not being 'part of Qt'. Anything else 
will only create confusion.

But they don't have releases, and therefore binary incompatible changes can 
still be made without concern.
