trunk_kf5 is the development branch for everything which is based on KF5.

trunk_kf6 is the development branch for everything which is based on KF6.

Most of stuff are on trunk_kf5. Plasma development switched completely to
trunk_kf6.

Frameworks development is on trunk_kf6 too, but its KF5 releases are still
happening from trunk_kf5, even though bugfixes without releases, and this is
not going to change.

Most everything else is on KF5, and KF5-based releases are going on for a
while, for sure throughout all 2023 and probably later.

This same pattern happened in the kdelibs4 -> KF5 transition, but that one
lasted longer (it took more than 4 years to port everything, this transition
is expected to be way shorter as the huge refactoring happened with the
splitting of kdelibs).
