communication around "KDE 5"

Yeah, there's some confusion... Most press is now using the SC moniker, that's 
a step forward. But:

http://www.linux-magazin.de/NEWS/Long-Term-Support-fuer-den-Linux-Desktop-KDE-SC-4.11-ist-da

Linux Magazin is under the impression that all of KDE SC 4.11 is Long Term 
Support. I mailed them:

I'm not 100% sure this is all completely correct (but it'll be a close guess, 
I think). And we should get something out to explain this... As was discussed 
here before.

Turns out, we even started an etherpad for this:
https://notes.kde.org/p/Platform5DotStory

I currently am swamped with work. I did put some more notes in that etherpad, 
it has structure, a start. And even links to information. Questions also can 
and should be asked from the release team and on kde-devel.

Is anybody up for at least making a dent in the work needed for this very 
important article? Pretty please?
