This would require 1) that frameworks is ready before qt 5 is (with the 
current development speed, that remains to be proven), and
2) that apps port twice. Once to frameworks, and then once again to Qt5.
Not sure that would be a good idea.

It also shortens the window of API changes in kdelibs-frameworks, basically.
