There's a fair bit of info about it floating around upstream. The
Frameworks split has involved a great deal of cleanup, with a focus on
continuous integration and pushing functionality to Qt where
appropriate. The move from a single monolithic kdelibs to about 60 small
frameworks will also drive adoption of the platform as it substantially
reduces dependency bloat.
As for Gentoo, we're just following upstream. :-) There's many more
ebuilds than before, but packaging is a lot simpler.
Given that it's early days both up and downstream, I wouldn't yet
recommend Plasma 5 on Gentoo for someone that's not at least a little
bit adventurous. I'd be interested to know what KDE negatives you've
experienced/heard in the past though.
