--- Comment #11 from Michael Weghorn <m.weghorn at posteo.de> ---
@Nate: Can you give a hint how important it is from your respective to get it
renamed for the kf5 life cycle?

Though another thought I had while thinking about it a little more in the last
weeks was that if we rename it from "kde5" everywhere, this would require
action at several levels, like

* other developers, and config for builders like Jenkins/tinderboxes (if we
change build option name)
* distros, to take into account the new build option and library name(s)

Given that, I currently see following options:

1) Rename everywhere
  + Consistency inside LO and with KDE project's naming for kf5
  - most action required on different levels

2) Rename it in some places/keep old name around to some extent
  + consistent with KDE project's naming for kf5 in UI
  - inconsistent inside LO (different terms used), may be confusing

3) Keep name "kde5", rename with next major version
  + no effort at all for now
  - inconsistent with KDE project's naming until qt6/kf6 is there

Any more ideas on this?

jmux: Are you taking the topic there?
(I think it might just be fair if a person that's a bit more convinced than
myself at the moment would suggest that...)

@Nate: ESC call is public and everybody can join, so if you and/or others from
KDE want to join, please do. :-) It takes place Thu, 16:00 CEST via Jitsi at
[1].
