Hello,

I am using 14.04 LTS version because it is LTS.
It seems hard to install KF5 with this version. Perharps, as KF5 is a major update, it could bring instability in 14.04.

Do you plan to generate a 2.x version without KF5 ?
Or a 1.1x with just report bug correction and not UI improvments in old version/branch...

No. The numbering 2.x.y means KF5 version.

We still have a 1.x.y branch for bug correction on KDE4 version.
But, this is for major issue. We don't plan to report all corrections on this branch because this is a big job to do that.

In conclusion:
All our efforts are now on 2.x.y versions based on KF5.
The 1.x.y versions are for big issues but you can not expect something more on this version.

I agree with you there, Vicnet. With *buntu, getting off the LTS upgrade path can lead to serious trouble where one least expects it. (Like email! Seriously, email! I haven't forgotten the KMail debacle. Or how my keyboard stopped working twice a year with each update.) I view all non-LTS *buntus to be experimental only, suitable for virtual machines, bleeding edge development, and tinkering. Production work, mission critical stuff -- and home accounting is mission critical on my home machine -- only gets done where the risk of showstopping bugs is acceptably small.

Hopefully any new and exciting development won't be so new and so exciting that I can't wait till a couple months after April 2016 and Kubuntu 16.04 LTS is on 16.04.1.
