I can't also explain very well what QtCore is and it has existed for 10 years 
now.

It's the low-level interface to the OS and basic and tool classes, plus a part 
of the XML support, but not all of it. And the item models. And the state 
machine. Oh, and a few more tidbits that ended up in QtCore because they are 
not really graphical in nature.

So is QtCore the kitchen sink?
