Yes, I think it'd make sense to have a clearer and cleaner separation between 
KDE Frameworks dependencies which can work outside of a Plasma sessions and 
libraries which require Plasma runtime components.

I was clumsily advocating for this Akademy 2021 or 2022 (can't remember 
which).

This way it's clearer to application authors when they tie themselves to a 
given workspace or not.

Also, isn't Elisa able to work without Baloo? It even seems to do the right 
thing if I trust its CMakeLists.txt. It has Baloo as a recommended but 
optional dependency, and disable it altogether for Win32 builds.

Regards.
