I see.

Well since org.kde.JobView.xml isn't used anywhere, I would reuse that 
filename, to get rid of the V2 nonsense...

http://lxr.kde.org/search?_filestring=&_string=%22org.kde.JobView.xml%22

(the dbus interface would still be called V2 for historical reasons, of course)

The framework would install org.kde.JobView.xml (for apps), 
org.kde.JobViewV2.xml (for compat), and plasma would be changed to have a copy 
of org.kde.JobView.xml and generate the server from that.
And Plasma 5.2 still implements V2 based on the file installed by the framework.
