This idea was discussed a year or two ago, and it was agreed then that applications \
would keep their own version numbering, if desired.
The KDE Applications version is simply a date indication. It's very useful, for \
developers who want it, to be able to have an individual application version which \
has a meaning in functional terms.
I strongly disagree with this proposal to change version numbers.
