[4.7 Beta1 blocker] plasma depending on kdelibs/experimental

Hi,
in the past we used to have the rule that kdelibs provides a stable ABI
backward compatible API. When the need for experimental, not yet mature
libraries came up, we introduced kdelibs/experimental.
Back then, the rule was that no stable public API must depend on experimental,
ABI-unsafe libraries.
I now discover this to be broken in master:
plasma/widgets/declarativewidget.cpp requires kdeclarative.h which comes from
libkdedeclarative in kdelibs/experimental
Is the previous rule no longer valid? otherwise, how to deal with this
situation? Move plasma to experimental? remove the dependency again?
Thanks,
Dirk
