Well ideally you shouldn't need to care.

I'm not sure what you mean here. What I meant was for each item you have
in your model, you keep a map of a unique identifier (for example
obtained via id()) and that "item" (data structure of your data). And
let the model index carry that number instead of some data-pointer. And
of course your model should know when some of its underlying data is
being removed. layoutChanged is meant for things like the view or
selection model to get notified when your models underlying data changed
significantly.
