Splitting Plasma-frameworks

Hi all,
I've resurrected a project i started a long time ago. Since Plasma
Dataengines are now deprecated, but being able to port away everything
for Plasma 6.0 is not a given, I've started a split as a standalone
dataengines library called Plasma5Support, so far in my personal area
https://invent.kde.org/mart/plasma5support

Even in the unlikely event if we can port all the things in time and
end up not releasing this, It will allow to having what we don't want
removed from libplasma to not have big unwanted thing there for the 6
lifetime.

as soon as workspace goes kf6, i would then port plsmoids to use that,
and then remove dataengines from p-f

I would like after ironing out the obvious big rough edges to make it
a module in workspace (after workspace is kf6 of course)

Opinions? comments?
