Designer is adding redundant position information

1. Create a new Qt Quick Application project.
2. Open the project's QML file.
   It contains:

       Text {
           text: qsTr("Hello World")
           anchors.centerIn: parent
       }
   

3. Switch to Design mode.
4. Move the Text item using drag and drop.
5. Switch back to Edit mode.
   The QML file now contains something like:

       Text {
           x: 236
           y: 141
           text: qsTr("Hello World")
           anchors.verticalCenterOffset: -92
           anchors.horizontalCenterOffset: -57
           anchors.centerIn: parent
       }
   

   What's the point of having x and y properties when the position is determined by the anchors properties?

Either use x/y or the anchors, but don't use both.
