I can understand your option and also think this is okay, but I would like to 
get a exception for kdepim/kdepim-runtime.

Mails are very important for users, so removing it from testing would make it 
impossible for testing users to read their mails.

Additionally we have already a solution in experimental kdepim based kf5 + 
akonadi5. A first version is already uploaded to experimental and me is 
currently updating it to 15.12. Hopefully after that we can think about 
pushing it to unstable. But we have also have to handle the applications 
depend on kdepim, that also needs to be updated (zanshin, kopete,...).

Regards,

sandro
