Thanks for all your work Michail!
As far as we can tell Latte Dock is a popular Plasma addon. If anyone is
looking for a project to take on this is your chance.
Otherwise I expect it'll stop working before too long as it uses various
private APIs so we'll need to tell distros to stop shipping it when it does.
Maybe someone could sit down and see which private APIs are being
used? then we can make sure it's in the right side of things and it
keeps working *FOREVER*.

I think it could make sense to add Latte to the regular Plasma release,
for the following reasons:
- It gives us regular releases "for free", which makes sure that
occasional fixes/improvements actually reach users. It would be a shame
if those never see the users because no one feels responsible enough to
make a release
- Having Plasma and Latte in sync helps with the private API problem
since a release of Latte has to only support one Plasma release. See
e.g. the recent KPipeWire topic where Plasma wanted to remove things
Latte uses.
