No, and not really planned now, but there are a few potential candidates that
depend on each other (remote file and remote process access for instance). For
now the idea is to have only "pure" Qt users there, but if the idea in general
flies then at some time it's imaginable that "solutions" could depend on each
other.

It's not feature-complete yet, and as long as there are still additions expected
there are benefits to have that in-tree (e.g. atomic commit instead of submodules)
that we currently believe to outweigh the benefits of a "physical" separation.
But this also may change at some time.
