I just found this [1]:

"They must not contain: 
 API changes in public libraries"

and

"In case you need absolutely new API or new strings to fix a important bug, 
approval from the relevant teams is needed. 
 For API changes in public libraries you need the approval of kde-core-devel"

This API change seems to be originating from a bugs fix, however I didn't see 
any discussion on either core devel or here.

Cheers,
Kevin
