I was looking in Debian Testing and it has KDE 5.13, wouldn't it be better to use KDE 5.12 instead for the next release since it is LTS and will get security and defect fixes.
Currently the barrier of entry for a Debian stable upload is proportional to the diff size, as it needs to be thoroughly reviewed. Thus cherry picking an important change is easier than trying to track a kde lts version (which usually includes hundreds of changes).
So, while it makes sense to have an lts version is stable, in practice is about the same.
In particular, plasma 5.13 and frameworks 5.49 include fixes to better support qt 5.11 which are not present in frameworks 5.42 and plasma 5.12, and we plan to keep updating plasma and frameworks till january (so buster should include 5.14.5).
At the same time, 5.12 stops receiving updates when 5.16 gets released (probably jun next year) so the support for 5.12 during buster cycle is almost non overlapping.
