Moving plasma-framework to frameworks means that we will loose flexibility 
since we won't be able to break api/abi.

So, do we really have to move it there? Imho would be prudent to keep it 
somewhere else where api/abi stability is not mandatory.

Also, right now there is only one user of this framework (plasma-desktop), I 
would wait until at least we have 2 more shells based on it to commit to any 
stability.

Cheers.
