Qt5 or KDE Frameworks 5 doesn't change anything, however the reorganization of the platform into frameworks constitutes a change in how the libraries will be handled (as products of their own) which will likely serve as a trigger for other changes. > As I guess the most obvious reason for slower paced development is just lack > of manpower. Any pointers there that qt5 does actually help? I don't think Qt5 changes anything regarding man power. The KDE Framworks 5 effort might result in an increase of developers spending time on the frameworks, i.e. applications developers currently not working with KDE based libraries but rolling their own. > > The relation to the KDE Frameworks 5 initiative is that are > > consideration to potentially release frameworks separately or in > > smaller groups on individual schedules.

Separate release schedules are something that is discussed but not decided yet, at least not by all application teams.
