Great stuff, just my 2c:

The most helpful initiatives for Qt is the one that de-fragments it. Qt
community isn't big enough to cut it into pieces...

>From the goals it's clear that inqlude had/have in mind all the properties
of qpm too. If these were not implemented, maybe it's because some more
contributing energy was missing, maybe exactly the one that went into qpm.

I don't question technical aspect but I'd think that the whole infra and
standardisation would look better from the early days if it's managed by a
foundation or association, not a company, no matter what.
