yes, the feature has been removed and due to the huge problem and added
complexity it gave, is not going back.
different workspaces with different containment/wallpaper can be done with
activities, and that's what's supported.

It's clear he's not going to action this in any way unless David Edmundson
pulls  rank, which he's unwilling to do. The developers (Marco et al) think
Activities is an acceptable alternative and are stubbornly refusing to budge,
and we're left in the middle just trying to get a feature back we all used in
KDE4. 

David/Marco, - it would be hugely appreciated, after over two years waiting, to
get some kind of final answer on this, either way. David I remember you saying
it would be returned after some additional work, here's hoping you can provide
some clarity. 

Thanks for your efforts!
