Speaking as a packager: probably it wouldn't be a problem to keep Kontact 
4.x around for a while, *but* only if bug fixes keep on coming. 

For now I only see Laurent committing more or less regularly to the 4.14 
branch, so I'm a little concerned, given that there aren't that many people 
working on PIM to begin with. 

I'm not saying it is right or wrong (I have neither the skill nor the 
experience), but IMO also keeping the 4.14 branch around for more time (with 
varying degrees of "more time" depending on the outlook) also means 
spreading out resources as well.

(and this is not to mean that a KF5 port should be rushed, but just to keep 
all the options to the table)

True.
