This is the way how we handle KDE Plasma Workspaces updates - we wait for
some time for .1/.2 release, it's tested in side repository, then it goes to
updates-testing, no autokarma. FESCo granted this exception.

It works pretty well now but yes, KDE4 is in maintenance mode now, so 
underlying bits changes are limited now, only apps are being worked on. But
we do it this way forever - in the very beginning of 4.x era it caused some
troubles but it was the must - as the first releases were pretty broken.
