That's quite disappointing. Removing it from packages after shipping
several versions with it is a good recipe for breaking applications.

I wasn't aware of the fact that the Qt 3D Extras library was
considered unstable. For QGIS 3.0 it is a bit late to do something,
but for QGIS 3.2 we could copy files we use from Qt 3D Extras to QGIS
and keep them until there is a Qt release with stable Qt 3D Extras
release.
