In my opinion one important point is being overlooked. We have a LTS version 
for Plasma, but as far as I know we do not have LTS versions for Frameworks 
nor Applications. 

So we should first discuss and align the maintenance strategy before even 
discussing the version of these components. Would it be possible to update the 
Frameworks, Plasma and Application components in Leap 42.2 through the normal 
maintenance channels (like we have been doing a couple of times for Leap 
42.1), or is the maintenance for 42.2 now restricted to pure bugfixes and 
versions of packages should be kept at the same level as the release ??

Without the above it would be hard to determine how to proceed. If we can 
update the KDE components to newer versions, then we do not have to push and 
squeeze ourselves to get a particular version in. 

If the maintenance channel would be closed for functonality and/or version 
upgrades, then we need to decide on which version for Frameworks, Plasma and 
Applications we want to have in Leap 42.2 given the release schedule. This 
would also mean that a lot of work might come towards a very small team as 
that fixes in newer releases need to be backported against the older version, 
which sometimes might not even be possible. 

Regards

Raymond
