Yes (the alternative would be a time frame where there is no kio_trash at 
all.... not really ideal).

I would suggest to just wait for the next kio-extras release before shipping 
KF 5.3.0, if the conflict is a problem. It should come quite fast.

Having two handlers for the trash protocol doesn't really make sense,
nor does renaming ktrash5 - creating a long-term discrepancy for a week-long 
conflict.

IMHO by the time distros want this kind of stability, things will have settled 
a bit more. When it comes to the general split (apps / worskpace / 
frameworks), things are still a bit new.
Let's not solve future problems right now, there's enough work with current 
problems.
