Yes.

I agree that CATEGORY could be sonnet_clients but the "kf5" reduces the risks 
of conflicts with Qt and other Qt-based frameworks. In addition we had "one 
plugin dir" before, so the code expects that in many places, e.g. 
kservice/src/plugin/kpluginloader.cpp line 126:  
    QString libfile = path + QLatin1String("/kf5/") + libname;

We also have a number of plugins which don't really fit into a category 
containing N plugins. E.g. ktranscript.so, FrameworkIntegrationPlugin.so.
Those are really "one of a kind", and are found by name. Installing them under 
a kf5 subdir makes sense, to keep them out of the way of other things.
