So how about a model where: 

Leap is released with Plasma 5.8. And only gets upstream Plasma 5.8 bugfix 
releases via the official update channel.

Frameworks can stay at the initial version. Or it can be upgraded to a newer 
version if there are very critical bugs or security issues that are fixed - or 
it can be upgraded at the discretion of the KDE team. Personally I'm willing 
to gamble on the ABI/API stability of Frameworks. But no point in upgrading 
just for the sake of upgrading. I assume Ludwig is OK with this too?

Applications can stay at 16.08.x. Or they can be upgraded if Frameworks is 
upgraded first. But personally I'd prefer applications not to have feature 
upgrades during the Leap release cycle, as I am a big kdepim user who don't 
like surprises ;-)

As I see it, Leap users (i.e. stability and predictability afficionados) and the 
KDE team have a common interest in not messing around with Leap more than 
necessary. But I could be missing something. We have Tumbleweed and OBS repos 
for other use cases.
