<p>I think that's not a problem, old plasma can load only old plugins, user decide when and why to restart your shell or session.</p>

<p>Hope i will never see such a OSX way :)</p>

So if the logout dialog is broken that is a big deal, if plasmashell crashes once I'll argue it doesn't matter because it would restart anyway and at that point be compatible with its own plugins again (NB: it may now be incompatible with surrounding services such as kactivitymanagerd ;))</p></blockquote>
<p>Crashing on logout isn't a big deal, but we can prove an acceptable solution to KDE software QA :)</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R119 Plasma Desktop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D4667" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D4667</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>EMAIL PREFERENCES</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>anthonyfieroni, Plasma, davidedmundson, dfaure, sitter<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>plasma-devel, progwolff, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol<br /></div>
