We require at least Qt 5.2, that should be satisfying this requirement, no? 
(Anything Plasma can't reasonably build against Qt4, since we've moved to 
QtQuick 2, and that is far from source compatible. (It's also the reason why 
we need to start on this sooner rather than later, Plasma, compared to other 
frameworks, requires more porting work.

If the Qt 5.2 requirement is not enough, tell me what to do, and I'll do it. 
KF5 is not versioned, but no worries, kde-workspace won't even build on top of 
last weeks kdelibs[frameworks]. This is something that requires a bit of 
adjustment, maybe reintroduce BIC/SIC Mondays again at some point? Food for 
another topic, I guess.

Cheers,
