So, we won't call it KDE 5 at all.

The one thing that did not work with KDE4 was releasing everything at the same 
time. We might see apps that are stable on KF5 quickly and some that are less 
mature. If and when it makes sense to release a KDE SC 5 as a whole is, as 
David notes, unclear at this point and not our concern anyway.

That's all forgetting the point that KDE is the community, not the software. 
The software is in our case "KDE Frameworks 5" with its official name, a 
convenient abbreviation would be kf5.

Can we get this discussion over with? :)
