Right, that's the main question.

libkonq is going to see a very different future in the KF5 world.
It used to allow sharing code between dolphin and folderview, but now these 
two things are in a different product (apps and workspace, respectively), so 
the only way for them to share code is to have that code in Frameworks...

So I think the medium-term plan for libkonq is to move all the interseting 
stuff to kio...
