Hi,

I'm still new to some parts of Debian's and KDE's lifecycle. I think I understand that :

- hotfixes from upstream Plasma (6.3.x) should end up in or be backported to Debian stable ;

- minor versions of Plasma (eg. 6.5) might at some point become available in Debian stable through upcoming point-releases (eg 13.3, 13.4, etc) in place of the current minor version (6.3.x) ;

- as opposed to major versions (eg. something like Plasma 7.x far in the future) that should only be included in unstable then testing, as the "next-stable" channel, preparing the future of Debian 14.

Am I correct ?

Thanks for all the work
