Yes, this email was to ensure people are aware of the issue and make 
fixing inline keyword use part of their drive-by fix toolbox, both for 
reviewing as well as authoring code.

Since this seems to be about using such functions in other out-of-body 
inline functions, it should be limited to Qt code and there to the 
actual patch introducing such a use. Unless and until we get user bug 
reports about this, I don't think there's anything we need to do to 
existing code. But when we hit it, we should do the whole header, not 
just that one function.

Ack.
