Tizen also and their own branch even.
There are also quite a few other devices that have their own mkspec, so there is precedence for supporting a sailfish/jolla platform mkspec.

Well, this one is easy. Tablet isn't arm based. :)
So far, I don't think Jolla has actually needed it's own mkspec, and using the defaults is working ok.
I'm not against the idea and would probably +2 any qt-project MR's, but then Jolla would have to use it in their builds.
