One of the stated goals of the library development, which will eventually end 
up in something we might call KDE frameworks 5, is that it's not disruptive to 
developers or users. It won't be a big break like KDE 4 with all kind of 
incompatible changes, but a mostly source compatible release, which has to be 
easy to adapt to. There won't be modules, which never are adapted, that would 
be a failure in reaching our goals.

I do see the value in a common release with a common schedule, and we as 
community and especially the release team should help with giving structure to 
what we release.
