Related to the vision discussion are the lines I've written for Plasma in the app lifecycle
https://community.kde.org/Policies/Application_Lifecycle/Draft Plasma is a cross device work environment where trust is put on the users' capacity to best define her own workflow and preferences. It is typically released 3 times a year Projects released as part of Plasma must fit well together and be a useful part of the user's work experience. They would not be useful to users of other desktops. Version numbers and stable branches are made by release dude Ask on plasma-devel for consideration of inclusion Do these make sense? Jonathan
