Right, but at the same time we cannot change of the module and all it's 
classes afterwards. The module exists already since 6.2.
The qt-labs repository is not for the qtinterfaceframework, but for some 
former parts of it which should be moved out of the repository and to 
qt-labs instead.
The naming of that new qt-labs module is still up for discussion, i'm 
open for good suggestions.
If qtif is the problem, we could also write it out, but that will be 
rather long:
