Using the same plasma library doesn't change anything. Amarok and
plasma are separate processes. And many Amarok plasmoids link to
libamarok.

I've been using 4.2 for a while so I support the transition. I also
support waiting until 4.2 is actually out so we don't lose anyone,
which I guess is shortly.
