No.  We don't.

KF5 doesn't meet the criteria for a standing SRU exception and since the last 
KF5 update broke Plasma 5, I think we've got no basis for claiming upstream 
feature releases are sufficiently low risk that non-bugfix releases are 
acceptable for post-release updates.

This should be no surprise.  This was all discussed when upstream decided not 
to provide support for current releases.  We'll have to cherrypick and do our 
best with imprant bug fixes via the normal SRU process.
