+1 from me as well

I agree that it doesn't belong in the Qt Quick Controls repository for now as the project goals are a bit different. The controls can already be styled and used together with Tizen once the artwork/assets become available. So in practice the tizen components should rather re-use the controls with provided custom styling without having to fork into a separate branch of controls and the Tizen specific controls are unlikely to provide much value to other platforms. We will have a better picture on how this will work once the Android/IOS ports get started though, but for now I think it belongs in a separate project on playground perhaps.
