No.

Installing both -devel packages is to the same prefix not something we 
will fix. You're not supposed to do that. Distributions should not allow 
it either.

Installing non-development packages is allowed. We're trying to find all 
clashes, but this will be a difficult task. Finding libraries and 
executables is easy, as is finding the few config files we ship. The hard 
part is finding shared configuration files and shared application files 
that are only in users' ~/.kde.

One more thing: downgrading an application has never been supported. We 
have no intention of changing that.
