That's not what I meant. I meant that it's stable as in "it doesn't crash all

interpretation.

But the API is indeed not frozen and is not intended to be.

QPA plugins are supposed to be inside qtbase, developed with the other Qt 
developers. Developing them outside is risky.

Please consider upstreaming your code and developing it inside the Qt Project.
