I don't think it is hard - we'll do exactly as you write. We deal with that 
in articles all the time. It's Plasma 5.0 (you lot didn't want plasma 2, so 
it'll be 'KDE 5.0' in practice, I'm afraid) but that is a technicality which 
we try to avoid. So yeah, we will might mention 'first release in the Plasma 
5 series' or something but mostly we don't go into the x.y.z, certainly not 
in titles.

Cheers,
