They were talking about changing it but KDE was doing major releases every four months rather than the six month schedule of most of the distros that use it. So, you're happily rolling along with Plasma 5 when Plasma 6 comes out and your rolling release installs the latest, greatest. Of course it needs Qt 6, Frameworks 6, and who knows how many packages they depend on. Open wide! The Fedora is up to 6.4.3. It's been pretty smooth since the initial move to 6 although I see pieces in the updates frequently. 6.5 will be out this fall but I don't know if there is a 7 in the works.
