There have been some name changes, see 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE#Brand_repositioning:

"After the repositioning, the name KDE no longer stands for K Desktop
Environment, as it now acts as an umbrella brand for software produced
by the community. What would have been previously known as KDE 4 will
now be referred as "KDE Software Compilation 4" (abbreviated "KDE SC
4").[10] Regardless, many users still refer to it as KDE 4. With the
releases of Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5, the term "Software Compilation"
is again retired, in favor of the names of each specific product the
KDE community produces.[11] Many users still refer to various parts of
the project (particularly Plasma) as KDE 5."

So no, it doesn't make sense to have a KDE without Plasma. Also, note
that a further change has introduced the name "KDE Frameworks", which
is why most of the components are now called "kf5-*".

The Fedora KDE list would be the place to discuss this (I think you
also hang out there), see
