KDE Frameworks releases monthly (for the past 63 months), Plasma quarterly and 
Applications semi-anually. I appreciate that that's a lot of building (just 
the KDE stack, so not a full run of everything depending on those, is an 
overnight job on 12-STABLE amd64).

Putting in a -devel version could slow the Frameworks releases to the rate of 
Plasma releases, but it'd be a lot of weird churn on our end (copying -devel 
over the non-devel versions every few months). I don't think that's really 
doable from a port-maintainer perspective.

Is there a way we (kde@) can reduce the amount of Power9 gotchas that end up 
on your plate? Piotr Kubaj is all over the tree and has been helpful in our 
ports, but I think he has access to real hardware. If there's a simple "press 
play" thing I can do to prevent issues reaching you (that would include a PPC 
jail, although I expect then that it'd be a week's compile on my local 
workstation), then I'd be happy to put a little extra effort in there.
