When I said applications shouldn't depend on Plasma Workspace I was
referring to kde-runtime, where most kdelibs was relying on and so now do
some frameworks.

KHelpCenter was split into a different repository because applications will
want to depend on it, same thing applies with most kioslaves and
components. The rest has gone to plasma-*.
