I've noticed it, even if plasma-workspace will have to wait in NEW. Maybe
planned, waiting for the existing packages to land (even if is not required),
but it was not the status when I wrote.

Nothing breaks for me, because I have all 5.6.x packages on hold. The fact
that 3 or 4 different users on IRC (including a DD) had their plasma-desktop
packages removed means that there is a conflict $somewhere.

It's not a matter of good or bad, it's the same as Frameworks: maybe with some
exceptions of "leaf" packages (like the icons for Frameworks), but the core
packages should be available in the same version.
