Currently Maxy is uploading 5.7.4 to unstable already, I thought from the 
above he would go for 5.8, but well its usual practice to at least wait to .1 
versions.

Luigi, what breaks for you? I do have plasma-desktop and plasma-workspace at 
5.6.5 and khotkeys 5.7.0 currently and see no  obvious breakages from usage 
point of view, or do you mean the tests?

I do think however it would be good to have all of plasma at same major 
version at least. So I love to see these in the newer version as well.

Thanks,
