It's true that print-manager is mainly a plasmoid/kded/kcm so if Plasma folks 
want to adopt it, I'm not against it, please propose a MR like 
https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/release-tools/-/merge_requests/39/diffs
(but in reverse)

That's not a good reason, Plasma developers need to remember that there's 
third party applications out there that may also want to tightly integrate 
with Plasma, so any breaking change that may affect print-manager or whatever 
other non-shipped-by-Plasma software should not be happening.
