yeah, I also see it more like as a temporary solution as well, if not else for 
the fact that it can work only on QApplication instances.
For us it's important to get in a short enough time span a good compelling 
reasons for applications to start using qtquickcontrols2, but I agree on the 
long run something else not linking to qwidgets is needed (which also speaks 
against official inclusion in Qt, as would get deprecated soon-ish in that case)
