Hi,

no, there are currently no plans to support both. Plasma 5 is an upgrade to 
KDE Workspaces 4, so we treat it as such (updated the packages).

It is technically possible to have legacy packages with KDE Workspaces 4, 
which would conflict with Plasma 5, so users could install one or the other, 
but the burden of maintaining two KDE desktops is one too many.

Yum/dnf update should give you smooth upgrade of KDE Workspace 4 and all it's 
components to Plasma 5.
