Not yet, but we are working on it, see

Because the KDE SIG uses different criteria than most of the other
packagers.

Fully agreed, but this is something we are discussing for the last two
weeks and I don't expect an agreement in the near future. While I think
that the decision about an update should generally be up to the
maintainers, I think KDE or this update show that we were better off
with an official policy.
