Hi,

the intention was here to pave to way for a software renderer for 
platforms that have no GL at all (virtual machines,  remote logins, etc, 
see https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-36091 ).

The initial versions of https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,76732 
had a separate QOpenGLProxy module, but we decided to move it into 
Qt5Gui since otherwise the user would have to deploy yet another 
library. But having a separate module would not help in the scenario you 
described (3rd party renderer of some sort e.g. VTK, OpenSceneGraph...), 
either?

Regards,
Friedemann
