Clearly Oleksii prefers his solution, and no user has actually spoken up in a 
thread which specifally asked users to speak up.

Maybe you should tell us? Because your actions don't speak of any interest in 
Creator. I see one patch in Creator which adjusted Creator's code to a api 
change in qt.

There's absolutely no reason we can't support two different ways of deployment, 
apart from my unwilligness to maintain two. Which just means that someone else 
has to step up to do it.

I have already decided, there's a a mail in this thread about that.

We'll go with the patch from Oleksii.
