I vote against it :-)

While I agree that your proposal makes sense, I would advise against
implementing it before Qt 6. There are lots of programs out there using
Flickable, and we don't know how this change will affect them.

For instance, one application might be monitoring the "dragging"
property and perform some action when it changes, and after your
proposal is implemented it will stop receiving it.

I'm especially thinking of "pull to refresh" implementations, which
might completely stop working.

Ciao,
