QtCurve can't be used as window decorator in Plasma 5

Hello, I wanted to try the theme at this page that works with QtCurve.
First I installed everything related to QtCurve:

# pacman -Sy qtcurve-gtk2 qtcurve-qt4 qtcurve-qt5 qtcurve-utils

After doing that, I can find the theme in systemsettings5 => Workspace theme => Applications appearance =>Widgets style and also in GNOME applications style (GTK+), but I don't find QtCurve in Window decorations. Only breeze, plastic and oxygen are available.
Can someone help me?
Thanks.

wasn't qtcurve always just a widget setting style, allowing more customization than others? i remember having installed it exactly for this reason.

The qtcurve window decoration is not ported to Qt5 yet

Ah, okay. Do you know when it will?
Also, why Qt5? Aren't decorations independent from Qt? Don't they just depend on KWin version?
