At some point default Sailfish application template got simplified to 
practically one line:

return SailfishApp::main(argc, argv);

I'm not at all surprised that some people started to think that only 
pure QML apps are the ones expected. The good solution to these 
confusion would be providing in the next version of SDK more than one 
template. Like templates for:
* Pure QML app
* Mixed C++/QML app
* OpenGL Qt app
* SDL app
* Sailfish Python app
etc.

Also I'm wondering when the update with correct icon size will finally 
appear in the SDK. For now people must do workarounds, throwing 
sailfishapp from CONFIG and other stuff, to properly prepare RPM for 
publishing. That may really scare new people away and we for sure don't 
want that, don't we?

Regards,
Filip
