Issue with Discover on the Plasma/5.14 branch

Hello folks,
We have a non-ideal situation with Discover. Its package update 
functionality is broken for many users of Plasma 5.14 due to 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399981.

The fix requires:
- Frameworks 5.54 for 
https://cgit.kde.org/attica.git/commit/?id=4c53ebade05a3961abb0c70549870ba749d90692
- Plasma 5.15 for 
https://cgit.kde.org/discover.git/commit/?id=7f6caf385809ce8c8087d8e56e9f3c6bd8c9170a

Unfortunately, because there are no more 5.14 bugfix releases scheduled, 
Plasma 5.14 users would be out of luck even if we could backport a 
version of that fix that didn't have any string changes.

Ideas regarding how to proceed? If we prepare a targeted 
string-change-less fix for 5.14.x, could we re-spin the tars for 
Discover to include it?


Nate
