  Indeed, this gets more & more complex, I hope in time for ECM6 there are enough samples collected from real-world usage to trim down things a bit again, to match known usage pattern with some simple setup options again. For now it's still try & error phase I guess, at least I still meet new constellations every week I had not thought of when initially designing this.

  With some non-KDE projects I experimented this with, having control to disable the setting or build-internal export of these flags was needed.
  E.g. in  some the examples wanted to have all deprecated API be invisible, to make sure examples only demonstrate latest non-deprecated API. So the exported flags were not wanted, instead are explicitly set per tests & examples.
  In others deprecated API was more separate and should not be used from other parts, so having a global deprecation warning/visibility flag by default got in the way, where instead deprecation warnings/visibility trigger is individually configured per file (warnings vs. visibiity to allow smooth porting in the library).
