I saw the commit, but it doesn't explain why there is such a requirement.

Why must those objects be deleted before QCoreApplication does away? Or 
why must they be deleted between QCoreApplication's destructor and the 
application's real exit?

What happens to those objects if the application exits without 
QCoreApplication's destructor running?
