The reason for the added dependency is that distributions complained about Plasma not properly specifying the dependencies it has. Thus I introduced them in a way that it doesn't require manual effort to keep them up to date. If I have to switch to minimum version it's starting to get manual effort with the risk of weird errors we have not expected yet. It does not make sense to have KWin depend on a Breeze of the previous version. Neither plasma-integration. Thus I even think that from a technical point of view that would be wrong. Cheers Martin
