I believe we can have guidelines for library names.
I do think that having things named KF5 that aren't actual frameworks is bad for several reasons. 1) It blurs what's a framework 2) We promise ABI and API compatibility for frameworks, but not for other things 3) Moving something from "not a KDE Framework" to "KDE Framework" gives a last chance for fixing up abi/api. so. foo-qt5 is fine for a qt5 version of foo. /Sune
