I find this statement strange, XKB extenssion has been enabled by default since libxcb 1.10, so saying 
that it is not supported contradicts with a default settings.

Qt has been using XKB/libxcb for several releases already thus the current state of XKB does not seem that bad.
What type of "incompatible changes" are expected - source, binary or?

XKB support in libxcb is rather unfinished and I'd say that it is not officially supported in that state.
It has many more bugs than that one.
Please do not use the XKB support from libxcb anywhere yet.

I already have prepared a working xml for XKB which will change a lot of things.
I will post that in the next weeks.
It requires some changes in the generator.
Fixing all the problems with XKB in libxcb will require incompatible changes.

Hope this clarifies the background of this problem.

Cheers,

Chris
