I think all of that is ok, i would add this couple of short paragraphs(pretty 
much copied from my blog entry)

A rewrite of the Plasma systemtray widget has been merged into Plasma Desktop 
for the 5.7, it brings a much simplified codebase and a lot of bugfixes 
compared to the old implementation

The graphical components used in Plasma Mobile have a new home and name.
Kirigami (The name comes from a Japanese paper folding craft similar to 
Origami, but unlike Origami cutting the paper is allowed) is a set of QtQuick 
components at the moment targeted for mobile use (in the future desktop as 
well) targeting both Plasma Mobile and Android. It’s not a whole set of 
components, all the “Primitive” ones like buttons and textboxes are a job for 
QtQuickControls (soon QtQuickContrls2) but it’s a set of high level components 
to make as easy as possible making applications that look gorgeous on mobile 
devices that follow the Visual Design Group UI guidelines 
(https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG).

(optional, throwing a mention of subsurface?)
The first Android application using a tech preview of Kirigami components has 
been released https://subsurface-divelog.org/2016/03/announcing-subsurface-mobile-for-android/


additionally, adding a short recap of the branding discussion? (but perhaps is 
not that good for a dot article)
