Will Mag7 get KDE Plasma 5.16?

I'm a bit disappointed that Mageia 7 RC only has KDE Plasma 5.15.4.
Kubuntu 19.04 has 5.16 now in backports.

Will there be a 7.1 with Plasma 5.16.x soon? Or will we have to wait again a few years?

I understand that for 7 the decision to choose 5.15.x was taken a long time ago.
5.16 has a lot of fixes.
I don't remember if Mageia ever did backports. Will there be one for 5.16? (Or a Mageia 7.1 ?)
With Mageia being a small organisation, how much work would it be for the devs and organizers to do backports?

KDE neon and Kubuntu can have the latest KDE versions. I wish/dream for Mageia it could also deliver that.

very likely

it does take time for the developers to process the various packages required.
If not for release, then shortly after.
It will just depend on how long between RC and final release
