Assuming you packaged KIMAP 2.1 in the KF 5.12 release, not releaseing a KIMAP 
in the KF 5.13 release would still result in having KIMAP 2.1 available from 
the last round, wouldn't it? I can see how that could result in problems if 
you're not working on top of an existing repository and essentially have to go 
through all KF releases to find all libraries.
