15.04 feature freeze exception for dolphin and dolphin-plugins

[Emmanuel Pescosta]

Thanks everyone for their feedback.
Given that there were some concerns about the Dolphin repository splitting,
we haven't pushed this forwards and we have decided to abort this request.
At least now everything is ready for 15.08 with plenty of time. ;)

You are absolutely NOT a bad guy, all your concerns were justified!

Thanks again to the release team (esp. Albert!) and to David for helping me
to move Dolphin Qt5 a huge step forward!

Cheers,
Emmanuel
