First, sorry for being the bad cop, i'd just like to avoid any future (irreversible) problems, and that distros delivering monthly KF5 updates continue doing so in the future ;-)

Please don't remove anything ever, KF5 promises backward compatibility forever, not until $someotherproductversion...
Distros where assured over and over again in the famous thread that no-bugfix-only KF5 releases will be a good thing for everyone, and they should be treated as bugfix releases (same as we can update kdelibs to 4.14.99 with kde-workspace 4.11.99).

If a distro would release with $someotherproductversion-1, and update KF5 monthly they would get nice reports about broken desktops - and in principle all non-rolling distros won't deliver new feature releases for desktop and applications.
