Yes, of course having a different place requires some changes to the release
tools. Please note that having them in a different place does not mean they
can't released _for now_ at the same time as another big package like Plasma
(and go with a different release schedule when needed).

I still think that having this kind of modules (libraries) formally separated
is coherent with the vision of the post-kdelibs4 world.

That said, there is no consensus here, as it seems I'm expressing I'm part of
a minority view and I'm not in the release team, if no one else says anything
else I would stop here for this specific case. If the problem surfaces again
in future for more and more modules, I would raise it again.
