that's exactly why i want it there, and the fact that is a framework has been 
decided like, 3 years ago?

yes

that's exactly the reason why libplasmaquick doesn't install any header, that 
doesn't have committed compatibility, for sure I don't want any api/abi change 
whatsoever in libplasma, and for sure not in any qml component.

the user of libplasma doesn't have anything to do being a shell
the user of any of its qml components doesn't have anything in being a shell.

I want us to be mature enough to commit to some stability.
If we can't commit to this minimum level of discipline, I wouldn't expect 
anybobody else to take it seriously in any way.
I wouldn't even manage to encourage with a straight face anyone to ever write 
a 3rd party plasmoid.
