Because we're only releasing KF5 and Plasma5 for the moment :D

Yes, but most probably you're changing it from plasma, so it's quite easy to 
associate the shell with it, i mean it's not like we're going to show a 
warning if Firefox translation is low, no?

Right, non core apps had.

I don't understand what you mean here.

Say you move from x.y.z to a newer version and suddenly the percetage is much 
lower, you'd get the warning the same you get it when selecting the language. 
This can be apllied the same for "first installtions/runs".
