I think this comment is for the QT developers! :)

The author is warning that values beyond this are reserved for users
and might be overwritten by a user.

It means user custom types must have a value greater than 0xf0000000
in order not to encroach/clash with QT's reserved types.

You can simply add to this last value customBase value and use it.
This value will not be interpreted by QT.
eg: SP_CustomBase + 1 can be your custom value and it will not be
interpreted any of the exiting QT functions which use this enum.

CMIIW.
