Hi,

There has been a lot of time spent on making qt modular, partly
because of distributions wanting to more sanely package Qt, to my
knowledge.

Isn't it a bit of a regression to just provide one huge tarball in
this case? It would be much more useful to provide qtbase,
qtjsbackend, qtdeclarative seperately as tarballs so these can be
packaged individually?

In addition to that, isn't the -5.0.0 versioning a bit misleading when
this is just an alpha?
