After a lot of discussions, testing, trials, errors, patching and more
testing, we have worked out the next phases of our KDE EPEL Roadmap.

As a reminder, we are trying to do updates just once a year, corresponding
with minor RHEL releases.  This gives us the stability that Enterprise
users expect, but with updates  that will allow us to keep up with security
/ bugs / features.

Current Versions:
RHEL 8.6: Plasma 5.23.3 - kf5 5.88 - qt 5.15.2
RHEL 9.0: Plasma 5.23.5 - kf5 5.90 - qt 5.15.2

Next Versions:
RHEL 8.7: Plasma 5.24.6 - kf5 5.96 - qt 5.15.3
RHEL 9.1: Plasma 5.24.6 - kf5 5.96 - qt 5.15.3

CentOS Stream 9 - The update to these new versions is currently in
epel-next-testing.  It should be in stable early next week.
CentOS Stream 8 - The update to these new versions should be in
epel-next-testing next week.  It should be in stable in two weeks.

For RHEL 8 this will probably be the last major update for Plasma.  It will
continue to stay on 5.24, which is an LTS release.  The libraries in RHEL 8
are just too old for the newer Plasma's.
