Here at KDE we've always struggled a bit with branding and the announcement
of formats for the bunch of releases that was originally "KDE" then "KDE
SC" then "KDE Applications" and at Akademy 2019 we decided to debrand it
and make it a release service with lots of different stuff in it. We had
monthly update announcements that included those releases on the months
when they happened and otherwise included everything else released over the
past month. But the format doesn't seem to have caught on by various
metrics. So the promo group had some chat about different formats you can
read at https://phabricator.kde.org/T14091
Currently the plan is to reband it probably with the name KDE Gear.
Ouch, y'all ended up liking my silly suggestion ^_^ Sorry about that.
Don't sell yourself short, Albert; I think it was really good!
Anyhow, I'm expecting we're not necessarily have to change stuff like branch
names or RELEASE_SERVICE_VERSION_MAJOR cmake variables to adapt to this promo
driven change, right?
I don't think so, no. Those are implementation details, and it would
certainly be a pain in the neck to update them to reflect the name, only
to change them again if we change the name in the future. My vote is to
keep the internal strings the same.
