Hi,
Yes we want to split kdepimlibs and move them to kf5.
For the moment it's not done because there is still a lot of work to do.

We will split soon, and we will move each module when ready to kf5

I work to make module ready soon.

We will keep API/ABI stable as usual.
We did it in kdepimlibs 4.0 so it will not change.

Regards
