[Development] Branch request: wip/itemviews in qtdeclarative

[Robin Burchell]

Hi,

I (of course) wholeheartedly support work in the model/view area. It's
something that could use some TLC, and I'm excited to see what you have
cooking!

I have a longer mental list of things that concern/bother me with
current model/views (some of which we've already discussed), maybe I
should try write that up in some form, if you think it might find it
helpful, but as I don't know how much time I'll be able to dedicate to
making this happen you may prefer me to hold my tongue :-)

+1 to having a branch for it (do you have a name in mind? wip/itemviews?
wip/tableview?)

A thought, that came to mind while thinking about naming, though:
there's a lot of features listed here, and I would expect that they will
mature at different rates as some of them are more standalone, while
others might require more extensive (and careful!) work on the existing,
rather complicated code.

As a result, I start to wonder whether a single branch for all of this
makes sense, or whether it may make sense to do some smaller pieces
either directly on dev, or to use more than one WIP so that it's easier
to land stuff "when it's ready" rather than turning into a huge pile.

I have great confidence in you, of course, just trying to make life
easier along the way, so if you don't want to do this or feel that it
wouldn't be helpful to you, feel free to ignore the idea :)

(PS. I know you won't want to make hard promises, especially this early,
but do you have any idea what kind of timeframe you have in mind for
landing? Fingers crossed for "not 5.9"! ;-))
