That's actually what I meant: "provide 5.6 and 5.7 alongside", as in "provide 
for installation", not "allow to install alongside". So forget about the "or 
otherwise" :)

It's been suggested that the LTS version might be provided as a "calm" option 
while 5.7+ see significant Wayland development. In itself that sounds like a 
plausible idea, but maybe not so much for Wayland support as that is almost 
bound to null the whole justification for the LTS release on KF5-based 
distributions.
