They shouldn’t be. Any libraries that are in kde-workspace that are useful enough to be used by applications should be moved out into their own framework for Frameworks 5. > I can't predict the future, or how disruptive the change from kde 4 to kf5 > will be for our users.

We are all working to make the transition as smooth as possible. There are limits, however, and personally I’d rather have Frameworks 5 + Plasma 2 as an upgrade rather than a co-installable. We don’t officially support co-installing 4.10 and 4.11 either, for instance. -- Aaron J.
