The KDE 4.x based version is no longer under active development and for KF5 we even have no Pate available due to nobody stepping up to do the necessary Python bindings for KF5. Therefore Pate bugs are no longer relevant here, if we get a new Pate version for KF5 up and running, it won't resemble the old variant anyway.

This bug has had its resolution changed, but accidentally has been left in NEEDSINFO status. I am thus closing this bug and setting the status as RESOLVED to reflect the resolution change.
