Exactly, the most comments are shorter now, have done that (not all, but in 
the most desktop files in all kde modules). This feature should be default 
on, because it is mostly only there for newbie users to give them a feeling 
which is the purpose of a app listed in a menu (newbies won't know what 
noatun, kooka, kate, and so on are, for them the comments make really sense).
But I would like to a button somewhere in the panel/menu config where advanced 
users can disable it, because most users will know there apps after some 
weeks and don't need it any longer.

just my 2 cent
