I do think that having things named KF5 that aren't actual frameworks is
bad for several reasons.

1) It blurs what's a framework
2) We promise ABI and API compatibility for frameworks, but not for
other things
3) Moving something from "not a KDE Framework" to "KDE Framework" gives
a last chance for fixing up abi/api.

so. foo-qt5 is fine for a qt5 version of foo.
