A lot of new users do not know that KDE4 and KDE5 should not be installed and run on the same partition.
First and foremost: there is no KDE5. ;) Secondly, the wording is probably inaccurate:
- KDE Frameworks 5 (the libraries) can happily coexist with the 4.x kdelibs; - Plasma 5 (the workspace) can *not* coexist with the 4.x workspace, meaning that there is a conflict (one overwrites the other), so rather than "should not", one should say "can't" - KF5-based applications: this is a case-by-case basis. Also, no KF5 based application has had a real release yet (most are snapshots offered in KDE:Unstable:Frameworks).
IMHO zypper or the Yast Package Management should raise a flag on Plasma 5 if KDE4 is already installed.
It should _not_ allow the user to select Plasma 5 packages for installation. Installing an earlier release of Plasma 5 gave problems when trying to execute applications in KDE4. This is a bit ... confusing. Why would we provide packages if we would then want that no-one can install them?? If there are problems with the way applications are (not) working in Plasma 5 enviroment, those should be reported, not swept under the carpet.

In the end all of the problems were fixed. Hence my question.
