Qt never came with functional safety guarantee, so if you want to use Qt
for that you have to audit and certify a specific Qt version (or whatever
the regulator asks you to do). That's what had to be done before the
introduction of Qt Safe Renderer, and that is something you can still do.

As the blog post says, the Qt Safe Renderer make it easier to use Qt in
functional safety products because you only need to have the Qt Safe
Renderer audited/certified an possibly it is something that TQC already
does, removing the burden from its clients.
