I can be used for multiple versions. And I'll be honest, I'm not sure
if that's really what is needed for KDE, other than maybe a "stable"
and "non-stable" version.
Well, there is not just a big chunk of stuff that can be either stable or
unstable.
If you talk only about Plasma, the desktop (KDE is not a software), there
*may* be a Plasma LTS module and a Plasma-latest module.
It does not make sense to do it for Frameworks (which is always keeping the
API), nor for the bundle known as KDE Applications (where you want the last
version), nor for the applications which independent release schedule (Krita,
Krusader, Tellico, etc; same as KDE Applications).
