  • KDE 5 confusion. Where is the new K desktop?

    I'm a bit confused about current state of KDE. As I've come to understand KDE Software Compilation will be replaced with more modular approach with KDE Frameworks. If I've understood correctly, KDE4 applications should be able to migrate seamlessly from old SC to new Frameworks and in the process from Qt4 to Qt5. If I've understood correctly, Frameworks is just that, a framework superset of Qt5 libraries, and KDE software can be developed more independently which is good, no longer requiring on KDE4 kitchen sink approach (installing Kate on non-KDE environment currently pulls 208 MB of dependencies..).

    Now here comes the confusion: where is KDE itself, meaning the desktop environment? I haven't seen any mock-ups or HIG or anything. Considering that Frameworks itself is steadily marching forward this is bit alarming.
