openSUSE 12.2 didn't came with maintenance updates, so the target was there=
 to =

get the latest possible KDE release in. Based on the timing that was 4.8.4. =

But a lot changed since 12.2. Now we have a shorter release cycle for the =

openSUSE releases and also we provide maintenance updates. =

You got that one wrong :)  We push the 4.14.x release as a full maintenance =

update. So if 13.2 is shipped with 4.14.0, then 4.14.1 is pushed as =

maintenance update as soon as it becomes available.  This is no longer =

possible with Frameworks. =

But we would be doing QA on "older" KF5 releases and not at something for =

which we would still receive bugfixes. =
