Yes.

Which means it isn't tested and there are often problems you need to fix 
yourself before you reach your goal.

Right now, I have to exclude qtgrpc from the build because it fails to build 
(I don't remember why and I don't have time to spend on that module). Two 
weeks ago, I had to disable qttranslations because otherwise cmake would enter 
a seemingly-infinite loop.

I also build with examples and tests disabled; there used to be a lot of 
conflicting target names between modules on those.

So I repeat: the top-level build is a convenience for developers who are 
willing to put in the time to fix the issues found in all of Qt.
