My understanding is that there won't be a kde-runtime once there is 
frameworks.

But apart from that: could we start dreaming? Dreaming of a KDE where every 
application clearly defines what dependencies it has and exactly in a way that 
packagers can set up the dependencies in an automatic and correct way? Can we 
consider going forward with leaving all hacks behind us and not stop the 
fixing with the hacks being the reasons?

For me as a developer it would be much nicer if I could say that my app 
requires only version 5.x of framework bar and 5.y of framework foobar. And 
not having a generic dependency set by the packager to 5.z.

Would that change your point of view? Would it still be more difficult or in 
fact easier?

Kind Regards
