Personally, I see no reason not to offer a newer kdenlive. It should actually be more stable (because of additional bugfixes) AIUI. Also, even if there would be problems, people could still use the standard version. It's only a leaf package, and also not something that's essential for a working system ;-) (it's not even installed by default...). I checked and at least 17.04.x will still build on 42.2 with the standard Qt5 and KDE Frameworks... It will need a newer libmlt (>=6.4.0) though. I of course cannot guarantee that this will continue to be the case, though I don't really see a good reason currently why kdenlive might require a newer Qt5 or KF5 in the foreseeable future. Newer libmlt versions should be compatible enough so that packages built with 6.2.0 will still work I think. I did try that with kdenlive recently, i.e. running kdenlive from the standard repos/Packman with a self-compiled libmlt 6.4.1. But then, apparently kdenlive is the only package in Leap 42.2 that uses libmlt anyway (according to "osc whatdependson"). So my opinion: go for it, especially considering that Packman used to provide the latest kdenlive (and libmlt) since years. Btw, to come back to the original question here: kdenlive 16.12.3 has been accepted to Factory last weekend, and is available in the standard repos meanwhile, and in Packman too.
