They simply have different time-based release schedules. Frameworks have a 1 month release schedule, Plasma 5 has a 3 month release schedule. They're not necessarily sequential (although work is done to prevent overlaps). Plasma 5 had to release past the first version of KF5 simply because, obviously, it depended on it.

Frameworks are not simply "cool". They are the basis for everything else, and they solve a real problem, the fact that you needed the whole kdelibs even for just one feature.

Those will take time to get ported - and the 4.x equivalents will stay until they are.
The "in space" might be, for example, separate repositories for each of those. I can see the logic behind such a move.
Actually applications and libs are already split over a number of repositories (Plasma 5 by itself is made up by software coming from several different repos). The big message is that KDE (the community) will no longer make "monolithic" releases, but libs, workspace ("the desktop") and applications will use different release schedules. -- Luca Beltrame - KDE Forums team KDE Science supporter GPG key ID: 6E1A4E79
