Take for instance QAbstractItemView. You drag something from it, right 
now it does not receive a release. But say it starts receiving a 
release, it may start editing the current item because has an edit 
trigger to start editing on single click or something like that.

Pushbuttons or toolbuttons may start triggering clicked(), and so on.

In short, there are concrete possibilities of a breakage here if you 
merely send a _release_.

Now I'm not saying that a release makes NO sense. It does, but it's one 
of those scenarios "if we had a time machine and did it 20 years ago". 
Right now I'm really afraid that such a change will do more harm than 
good (although I don't have numbers, i.e. I didn't implement the change 
and checked for breakages.)

My 2 c,
