In my opinion those changes - as big as they may seem - could go in after the 
beat. Yes, they change the implementation a lot, but they barely affect the 
API. The beta is about being able to try out new features in Qt and getting 
feedback about for example regressions. IMO that's not in conflict with your 
changes.
