This is how it's set up:
KDE SC 4.14 (The Current Release): KDELibs 4.x Release
KDE Applications 14.12: Mixed KDELibs 4.x and KF5 Release
KDE Applications ~15.6 (whatever 14.12.next() is): Intended to be a purely KF5 Release
Note that this has nothing to do with whether you're choosing to run KDE Plasma 5 or not, which I recommend you wait on till around 5.4

I didn't quite get what you meant by the first sentance.
My repos currently offer KDE4 and KDE5 apps separately (ie as different apps, not as upgrades), but I cannot install both work-spaces together as they conflict somehow :'/
Once the maintainers consider KDE5 apps as good enough, they'll drop their KDE4 versions.
As for the other, cool, I'll wait for that. Any special reason why 5.4 though?

Seems like only a few weeks since 5.0 was released and Plasma is already on 5.4!
I wasn't expecting KDE 6 for another 4/5 years or so but looks like we may see KDE 6 by summer at this rate!
To me it seems a bit too soon for Plasma to be at 5.4 before we even have stable(ish) K5 releases of dolphin, konsole etc.
KDE has become the Chrome of dot releases!
What works for Chromium, works for Chromium, stop trying to copy it places where it doesn't belong, especially in frameworks that unlike applications NEEDS to be stable for months to even get a single app developer to take it serious.
