In the case of three Frameworks (namely plasma-framework, kwayland and kwindowsystem) I have on file requests from the Plasma and KWin developers informing me that their software does indeed require latest HEAD (with no delay) of those particular frameworks, hence the convoluted setup on the CI system for those three. They do date back to May 2017 though.
