We want to make separate releases of the 3 major products:
frameworks, apps and workspace.

So libs that are used by workspace and apps, should be in frameworks.
For libs that are only used by apps .... I guess they can either be in apps or 
in frameworks.

So IMHO the question is: is there a chance the KDE workspace will need it?

Of course the other question is: do you want to make it available as a 
framework for non-KDE developers to use in Qt applications?

If the answer is yes to either of these questions, then you need to split it 
out into a framework.
