I don't use the KDE desktop & don't want it installed,
but I do regularly use several KDE apps, eg Konsole, Gwenview, Okular.
For a long time, there haven't been stable updates of these apps
& I've continued to run the '4.14.x' versions,
but today Okular 15.08.3-r1 appeared as stable
when I did my weekly update via 'eix-sync'.
I duly emerged it -- I never do 'emerge world' without '-p' --
& it seems to be working as before.

Eix tells me :

  root:504 ~> eix konsole
  [U] kde-apps/konsole
     Available versions:  
     (4) 4.14.3(4/4.14)^t 4.14.3-r2(4/4.14)^t
     (5) ~15.08.3-r1
     {X aqua debug +handbook test}
     Installed versions: 4.14.3(4)^t([2015-10-07 13:08:42])
      (handbook -aqua -debug -minimal -test)

  root:505 ~> eix okular
  [I] kde-apps/okular
     Available versions:
      (4) 4.14.3(4/4.14)^t 15.08.3-r1(4/15.08)^t ~15.12.1(4/15.12)^t
      {aqua chm crypt debug djvu dpi ebook +handbook +jpeg kde mobi
       +pdf +postscript +tiff}
     Installed versions: 15.08.3-r1(4)^t([2016-03-05 18:13:44])
      (crypt handbook jpeg pdf tiff -aqua -chm -debug -djvu -dpi -ebook
       -kde -mobi -postscript)

So Okular 15.08.3-r1 is part of version (4),
but Konsole 15.08.3-r1 is part of version (5).

Can anyone explain this anomaly & how KDE versions are evolving ?
