No
'muon' was also missing on my upgraded F22 system, not sure how important it is for Apper
It isn't important.
Out of curiosity, which are the current mechanisms to prevent Qt 5, Plasma 5, KF5 and KDE from getting out of sync?
Dependencies at the package level.
Do these mechanisms require minor fixes (missing dependencies), or what kind of steps do you have in mind?
Haven't decided yet exact, but probably one way is adding more strategically placed versioned dependencies to enforce Qt5 and KF5 versions across the stack of kf5 and plasma5 packages.
For example, if package plasma-foo is built against qt5-x.y.z, then enforce a runtime dependency like: Requires: qt5 >= x.y.x
