My 2c, On KDE 4 aka KDE SC 4, plasma was always just plasma, no user says I'm using the plasma shell (as there isn't another KDE option).
I think even if Plasma is numbered after 2, users will still say they have installed KDE 5 or KDE SC 5, the marketing imo must go to the whole SC 5 and not to single components, for example I go to dolphin look at it's version and I have 2.2 but my KDE is 4.10.5, when the user report bugs most of the time they specify the whole KDE version and not the component one. Having KDE as just as people (bad thing imho) brings these issues, do we install KDE software? Or would I install KDE people? IMHO the core of the KDE is it's libraries/frameworks which will be named at 5. One can write another KDE shell (iirc there is kor) (and don't make it in SC) but that will still be a KDE shell. enough talking to summarize I'd say we should go for KDE SC 5 which includes 2nd gen of Plasma, 3rd gen of dolphin and so on, some components happen to have survived since KDE 1 (kwin/konqueror maybe?), naming Plasma as 5 doesn't reflect it's real age.
