Sure, but again, what are the cons of this? If we promote this module to the 
main Qt, it means we are recommending people use it. I'd like to know if we're 
promoting a good alternative.

If it has lots of problems rendering PDF or consumes lots of RAM or has some 
other big drawback, we should either not promote it (keep it as an add-on) or 
instead have a big disclaimer telling people to consider Poppler first.
