src/backend/file is not part of QOF. It is loaded by QOF functions but it is 
inherently part of gnucash. Eventually, it will be shared with cashutil but 
that's not of concern at this time.

src/backend/qsf is part of QOF and that will automatically handle all and any 
objects registered with QOF without any changes. It doesn't matter what 
objects you add, QSF can handle any object that can be registered with QOF 
without any changes to the src/backend/qsf code.

GnuCash is free to make changes to src/backend/file - within the limits of the 
QOF API (QofBackendProvider etc.) You don't need any releases of QOF to do 
that.
