They won't be co-installable just as konsole won't be co-installable with its kdelibs4 version, it's a new version of the same programme. But the parts that are used by applications, libraries and runtime parts need to be co-installable so kdelibs4 and kf5 applications can be installed on the same system. Your e-mail also highlights a branding issue, now that we are calling the new version of Plasma, Plasma 5 what do we call the old version. I've been calling it Plasma 1 as that was the version number used and it's not a good idea to be revisionist.
