keep in mind the instant the qgv part is dropped 100% of the shells, all 
plasmoids, all bindings and a good chunk of 3rd party plasmoids needs to be 
ported (and i would be surprised if the qml1 plasmoids would work in a qml2 
version without being touched)
so dropping the qgv part even if really applealing from the developer pov (it 
would solve quite some problems) is not feasible, because it really means 
another 4.0 :/

it will probably take years, in which probably a qml2 shell will coexist 
without being released for the use by developers
