Why do we need to run two kwalletd?

p=kwallet.git&a=commit&h=f7c1586264e029be50f3d9ca15ccad268a8c5601 renamed the
binary and the D-Bus name for kwalletd in the name of coinstallability.
Coinstallation is fine, but as a consequence, people with mixed KDE 4 and KF5-
based systems now have two kwalletd running and often two kwalletmanager
running, with two icons in their systrays and little information which is
which.
Moreover, there are two sets of wallets, with subtle differences because one
was migrated off the other at some point in time, but then they diverged.
Was that the correct/wise decision? Why not have *one* wallet for all
programs?
