I doubt there is a solution. Upstream wanted a name change, so tried to give
it one. Users reject using it. The new isn't improved, only complicated.

Probably few users care about release announcements enough to read them.
That's why users who don't participate in development and blindly upgrade to
latest version as soon as discovered often ask how to revert, especially with
F22 and Kubuntu 15.04, due to first Plasma5 exposure, which sadly mimics the
migration from KDE3 to KDE4 with WONTFIX[1] or buck-passed upstream to QT[2]
features lost and/or dysfunction[3].
