where or you get KDE 4.14.30 on Fedora 25 ? or you mean by that ? , I
use kde-workspace-4.11.22-20.fc25.x86_64 on my desktop [1] and I
publish my builds on [2],  all applications like konsole, we don't
change it, I use the system ones, I can use systemsettings5 and
systemsettings  , it is quite fun and works almost 100%, i. e. have the
same bugs not new ones :) .
