My question is specifically about drops of new major component

In the context of the bug you specifically mentioned trigging this thread
(kf5-kinit crashes), that was not a new major component version (arguably),
but a minor release update for kde frameworks.
What we could learn from this is to emphasis again how important testing and
feedback are (ie, updates-testing) before pushing these releases to stable
updates. If that had been more rigorous, this bug could have been caught in
time before hitting stable updates.
