You mean 3rd party developers using e.g. KF5Archive? In that case I expect 
that
a) they know that they use KArchive
b) they will use Ctrl+F to find it in the product list. Hey even I do that to 
get to KWin, I'm not scrolling a list of hundreds of products starting with 
"K". It would be just the same with a prefix frameworks.

No, you don't want to create those versions in the first place. If we have to 
create a version for each of the frameworks manually through the web interface 
we do something wrong.

neither do I and this time I cannot bring the argument that you have no clue 
about bugzilla to silence your argument :-P So executive decision sounds fine.
