I'm chiming in late on this discussion, but:

Fedora will likely just manage KF5 "the Firefox way". We already push one KDE 
4 feature update per Fedora release (e.g. 4.11→4.12), we'll just have to push 
more if all updates are feature updates. Some other core packages like the 
kernel also follow such an update policy in Fedora (e.g., Fedora 19 shipped 
with kernel-3.9.5 and was upgraded to kernel-3.14.4 in official updates).

As for RHEL, while I do not work for Red Hat and thus cannot speak for them, 
judging from their past decisions, they won't care anyway, as they already do 
not ship even bugfix releases. RHEL 6 was released with KDE 4.3.4, it did not 
even get 4.3.5 as an update. (The current release on the release date of RHEL 
6, November 10, 2010, was 4.5.3, by the way.)
