Frameworks are the base libraries, i.e. corresponding to kdelibs package in KDE4 + most of kde-runtime. They split them up to reduce dependencies, and thus facilitate usage outside of "KDE apps". Workspaces is the desktop, i.e. the window manager, desktop shell, panel, basic system apps etc. As Armin noted, they will not be released synchronously any more. When KDE 5.0 will be released in July, all applications will not yet have been ported. I think at least dolphin, konsole and kate/kwrite will be ready, but kmail and others will take longer. So, I think that maybe we should keep KDE4 in blfs for a while after KDE 5.0 is released. Btw. Nice work, Armin. Have you managed to get the 4.97.0 shell up and running? It crashes on login for me.
