I'm not sure what you have in mind here. There's no concrete plans that I know 
of, it's too early for that, but I also don't see any point in a 4.15... What 
would that mean? Porting everything to KF5+Qt5 ... that sounds like a KDE SC 
5.x to me, we've always had matching version numbers. But I don't see the 
point of this discussion. We're developing the framework, the apps and 
workspace could, in theory, do whatever they want, this is out of our concern 
(with the "frameworks" hat on). Just like the Qt5 developers (rightfully) 
don't care about KDE SC 4.15 vs 5.0.
