Because I can't QSringList{"me", "you"}.join() with a QList.
I didn't say that it's a typedef for QList, but is-a -- it
inherits, precisely to provide that kind of convenience.

In Qt 5 it is a different type with extra API. In Qt 6, those extra methods

Majority of whom? I am fairly certain most Qt developers either didn't know
about QList controversy or didn't care about it enough to consider it in
their code.
The only people who care are ones in this mailing list most likely. Imo.

Specially when talking about QList -> QVector, as QVector doesn't
guarantee the stability of references due to reallocation.
Nor with Qt6 QHash... still waiting to see how much code *that* silently

That would be Vitaly's proposal to have major releases yearly.
