>From my point of view, it's more like:
- KTp only works on Plasma. (Sure you can compile it mostly anywhere,
but it sucks at integration).
- A common interest for KTp development is providing a feature-full IM
service for Plasma.

Therefore, if we think about it from the Promo perspective, I can imagine:
- With Plasma 5.32 the Plasma users will be able to send blorgons from
the system tray.
- Since KDE Applications 22.4, Plasma 5.31 users will be able to send
blorgons from the system tray of their Plasma shell.

Am I making any sense?
