Plasma 6.8. When?

Hi all!
Why Debian Sid is still using Plasma 6.7 not 6.8? Any obstacles? Any reasons for the delay?

My belief is that Debian packaging team is waiting for the first bugfix release. Wish 6.6 or 6.7 was kept around in some legacy branch for those who want to keep the X11 session around as in 6.8 and beyond the X11 session support was dropped.

There have been already 3 bug fix releases. 6.8.3 is active.

Hopefully soon then 6.8 will be coming into Unstable.
