MRE for KDE Frameworks

[Jonathan Riddell]

Hola Tech Board, I'd like to ask for a Micro Release Exception for KDE
Frameworks, or depending on how you look at it extending the KDE Micro
Release Exception to KDE Frameworks.

KDE Frameworks is the new name for kdelibs which was previously released
with KDE SC.and we're done MRE updates for some years.

The KDE Frameworks developer have said they don't have the manpower to make
bugfix releases and instead are making monthly releases with both bigfixes
and new features.  There will be the same assurances of stable ABI, API and
no new features coming from those ABIs.  So any applications using these
libraries will not be using any new features but will be using the bugfixes.

Allowing the MRE will allow us to get bugfixes out to users, it'll also
have the nice affect that developers wanting to use KDE Frameworks will
have new versions available.
