I've noticed it, even if plasma-workspace will have to wait in NEW. Maybe planned, waiting for the existing packages to land (even if is not required), but it was not the status when I wrote. > > Luigi, what breaks for you?

Nothing breaks for me, because I have all 5.6.x packages on hold. The fact that 3 or 4 different users on IRC (including a DD) had their plasma-desktop packages removed means that there is a conflict $somewhere. > I do think however it would be good to have all of plasma at same major > version at least. So I love to see these in the newer version as well. It's not a matter of good or bad, it's the same as Frameworks: maybe with some exceptions of "leaf" packages (like the icons for Frameworks), but the core packages should be available in the same version. -- Luigi
