No, (s)he doesn't. There are already many newbies in the 
kde/linux-newsgroups who think various apps to be KDE-apps although 
they aren't KDE-apps. By mixing KDE and Non-KDE-apps in the 
K-menu we will get more BUG-reports and mails concerning 
non-KDE-apps as people will assume that they belong to our product.

being mentioned by competitors ;)

as I said: most people who rarely use PCs won't search
for an option like this. They are used to things only 
showing ONE behaviour. My mother e.g. might be a good
example for this: She takes things as they are and 
judges on it then without getting the ideas that things
are configurable. Maybe this comes from the fact that
washing-machines, espresso-machines, toilets and things
are not configurable in the way you use them.
