Well, the module has been commercially supported for a while. So it is at
least debugged and tested for the platforms that it supports.

TQtC will need to continue to fully support the module in the commercial
packages, so a TP status for it will be somewhat weird. So I’d propose we
try to do the API review in the next week or two (as Eskil said, it has
all been reviewed already once by Qt Project approvers) and then see
whether we can upgrade the module from TP (as per release team discussion).

Cheers,
