I will simply quote your own email:

"We want frameworks to spread throughout the world and we want people using
it everywhere; I think we should have a proper, standalone support contact
point for these developers, which is not loaded with other KDE devel stuff."

kde-devel is not general purpose. It is specifically for discussion of 
developing applications with KDE technical offerings, including the frameworks 
libraries.

I don't think it is a bad idea. I think the definition of what "purely for 
frameworks" means has become unnecessarily and undesirably (even dangerously) 
narrow and that k-c-d and k-d serves the purpose for development-of and use-of 
perfectly. This comes at a time when both of those lists need revitalization, 
something which I'm suggesting would be well accomplished by returning to 
their original purposes.
