just to make it very clear: libplasma is in kdebase/workspace (not kdelibs; 
not even kdebase/runtime), is replacing a library that *never* maintained BC 
(libkicker; heck, it didn't even install its headers so people would just 
statically link it in to applets ... i'm not joking) and is being rather 
forced into this situation with the advent of widgets/layouts for QGV only 
coming with 4.4 ...

so don't make libplasma a part of this discussion =)

btw, i too am all for this position: "we can make new API modules, on a case 
by case basis, 'private' and ship with a clear notice that BC is not being 
enforced yet; but our existing APIs (kdecore, kdeui, kio..) must remain BC"

iow, i think i pretty much agree with you. except for bringing libplasma into 
it ;)
