To be honest, we wouldn't want to repeat the KDE 4.1 migration. That
was considerably underplaned, undertested, undereverythinged. So IMO
if the workspace doesn't have a stable (as in actually stable, not
just labeled stable) release sometime in June there really is no way
we'd get away from KDE 4 for 14.10.

A PPA to opt into possible pre-releases etc. certainly is the plan,
but beyond that I would be very supicious of the speed at which things
are being moved :P

15.04 is right now a very likely candidate for adoption (again,
assuming the quality is right and we have a proper migration plan for
everything).

Something that also should not be forgotten, is that for at least 2
releases we will likely end up shipping
qt5+qt4+kdeframeworks5+kdelibs4, and considering how hard it is to
keep us below 1GiB ISOs right now this certainly is something that
should be taken care of well before we start a migration.

I put down a trello card for 14.10 to work out at least an initial
migration plan.
