That doesn't mean anything.

First of all, the desktop platforms are definitely important. Maybe they're not 
the focus of most attention, but they're definitely important.

Second, if the patch is good, why not accept it? Especially since we didn't 
have the time to implement it ourselves?

That's all the more reason to have Qt API for it: if they are completely 
different API and implementation on the other platforms, then a Qt one would be 
beneficial.
