True.
And it might not work if there are also libraries which are not behind 
kdepimlibs in the dependendy chain, but between kdelibs and kdepimlibs. Or if 
even parts of kdelibs might depend on it. So such a module would only catch a 
subgroup of new libs. Hm, one should go and collect all candidates, current, 
future and previous. I guess e.g. plasmalib developers would be glad if they 
still could improve the API.

Hm. Perhaps the best would be to rethink the policy for the modules. And start 
to allow explicitely marked parts of it to be unstable with regard to the 
next major release. No idea if packagers could solve this dependencies in a 
sane way.

Will do, just need a more complete picture before...
