That basically reads "qbs dead as there will be no IDE supporting it left”. No, you have a confirmation that we’ll keep it there for at least another year. If we have a proper maintainer for the Qbs integration, I do not see a reason why it couldn’t stay in creator for longer.

In case a maintainer decides to step down the normal process would be to find a new one. Only if this is not possible further steps have to be taken. Using Qbs for building Qt has been discussed here and lead to a solid decision against it. Obviously then the Qt company decided not to work on this code anymore - so far so good. But deprecating Qbs as a tool for building user projects is absolutely not covered by this discussion and if there was a more related one I seem to have missed it. This all has a lot to do with the question if the Qt Company sees itself as being a member or the owner of the Qt project. If we really want to be a community project, then the process of inventing and deprecating modules has to become more independent.
