You'll see that QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets and QtNetwork are all in the same 
repository. They were not modularised from each other.

Those four basic libraries are required, period. We may provide no-xxx options 
for those rare scenarios where you may want them, but please don't complain if 
we break them. Send a patch instead.

You mean the graphical networking examples, like the HTTP client? :-)

The only examples I know that aren't graphical are actually in networking 
ones. And that's only because yours truly here is not a graphical app 
developer and couldn't write a GUI, so I wrote the TextProgressBar class.
