Unfortunately fixing this would be causing true regressions in at least ktexteditor and pyqt5:

I'm not sure if rebuilding qtxmlpatterns would be enough or what other kind of problems there could be lurking. Since 16.10 release is coming closer, I think the set of these three patches (that remove a symbol among else) is too risky. The fix would eventually be in Qt 5.7 in Ubuntu 17.04, unless of course a less invasive fix could be had for 16.10.
