+1 This is what has been done with kactivities. Instead of having it in 
kdelibs and runtime, it is now all in one repository.

The only difference here is that nepomuk is not in libs/experimental like 
libkactivities was.

I think that this would help KF5 efforts since applications would start 
porting early to the new libraries. Again, the only downside being the fact 
that libnepomuk will not be able to stay binary (or api) back-compatible due 
to uses of KUrl and similars (it it hasn't already been removed in the 
nepomuk-core)

Cheerio,
Ivan
