I think that question, as asked, is irrelevant. Why does anyone care what a 
module is called? We can freely move libraries between modules. They are just 
a packaging artefact. At worst, changing them breaks some build scripts. 
Should be a 10-minute job to fix it, assuming everyone isn't simply getting the 
fix from the Yocto Project.

API and library names, on the other hand, are more important. Any code 
imported into the Qt Project needs to b reviewed, though the fact it may come 
with existing users may inform us in how much breakage we/they are willing to 
accept.
