This makes sense but would be good to have more concrete timings. They've said 2027 but haven't firmed up an exact date yet; they've attibuted that to potential extra bug fix releases for 6.7 which would push 6.8 back a bit.

Looking back, 6.3 released Feb 2025, 6.4 in June 2025, and 6.5 in Oct 2025. KDE is planning to move to a semi-annual instead of tri-annual schedule, so 2027 does make sense if 6.6 and 6.7 are in 2026, with 6.8 in 2027.
