I am a primarly a member of the KDE community.

~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml
The new location is ~/.local/share/konqueror/bookmarks.xml

Some changes are expected in a major version bump.
Most applications migrated the content; the toolbar disposition is a different 
issue.

What I said is true and correct; kio-sftp support is in kio-extras.

That said, I'm using kio-extras 17.04, but there are no relevant differences 
with 16.12 by looking at the code.

The then maintainer of KWallet had a problem with supporting the old format in 
a reliable way while migrating to Frameworks 5. This was solved with a really 
recent version of Frameworks, which can read the old wallet, thanks to the 
contribution of a Gentoo packager.

The plus was that something was done. If nothing would have been done, you 
would have still complained that it was abandoned.
I mean, really, what is the solution? That the old maintainer (who is taking 
care of what most people can take humanly care already) should have been 
chained to a chair to work on Konqueror? No one stepped up, there was some 
work to finally at least port it. That's it.
