I'd be in favor of moving master to Qt5/Frameworks5 soonish:

- I don't want to have to keep track of merging between 3 branches, 2 is 
  really enough
- kde-workspace developers have decided to move onto Frameworks5 after 4.11 is 
  out, using master for this is natural

This means that, just like with kdelibs, you should use the KDE/4.11 branch if 
you want to build "the current version" from git.

Likewise, it would probably make sense to merge frameworks into kdelibs master 
as well. That's a discussion that can be had here at Akademy.

I can announce this change "BIG TIME", so people know what we're up to.

Cheers,
