Thanks for that....

On going from F21 to F22 via "fedup" will one have the option to stick with KDE4 or will one be forced into a Plasma 5 upgrade.

I ask this since, at the moment, there are certain aspects of Plasma 5 which don't fully appeal to me.  An example of that would be default "Breeze" desktop theme looking rather flat and when I switch to my preferred "Oxygen" desktop theme the "Networks" display when the networks icon on the systray is clicked doesn't display correctly.
