I'll concede lack of migration in general.

which leaded that after upgrade to F22 i stared to a more or less default KDE with all customizations gone, at that point not working systray, all quickstarters where gone, menu-entries for the most used applications did no longer work because missing "ksystraycmd" and the first thing i faced where crashes and error messages like a star wars movie

I'd argue removing old configs would be bad though, so -1 on that
suggestion.

after a succesful migration they have to go away or at least get collected in a own folder where it is clear that this is old stuff

* as user you have *no idea* if something is still a KDE4 app

* Most users don't care

that users don't care if they have KDE3/KDE4/KDE5

the ones who care are nearly unable to cleanup their userhome

* Users that *do* care, can easily find out via about->app and/or about-
about kde

in theory

darw me a clear picture "dolphin", "konqueror (as file manager)" and "folder-view" what is using what (besides missing translations for folderview which *seems* to be KDE5 because it don't care about my service-menus and settings from konqueror)

* the whole userhome became a mess

* Following xdg specifications makes things clearer.
* *became* a mess?  It's no messier than kde4 was

*nothing* is clearer when applications are throwing multiple singel files around instead sit in a folder named like the application

and since thats all more or less KDE point me to the part of xdg specs which forbid "/kde5/application-name/"-structures

a *clear* layout would have been

~/.local/share/kde5/appname/
~/.config/kde5/appname/

which makes it easy replicate or backup/restore settings as well as get rid of old files after you made sure "appname2 was migrated to KF5
