For anyone who missed it: Patrick Volkerding confirmed on LQ that Plasma 6 has been tested internally during every Slackware -current release cycle.
It hasn’t shown up in /testing (and might never), because KDE6/Qt6 is still going through heavy upstream churn — exactly the kind of instability that can break a system-wide upgrade. So Pat is keeping KDE6 out-of-tree until it’s truly ready.

So no worries our BDFL won’t disappoint.
Plasma 6 will arrive at the right moment: stable, polished, and with that classic Slackware quality. 😉
