Until all the kdepim applications are released for kf5, I don't think that
the KDE 4 branch should be restricted to maintenance only. Presumably not
all applications will be ready for kf5 at the same time, and 'later'
applications might need to introduce minor new features or string changes
in the meantime for KDE 4, before they are ready for kf5.
