Yes I think so, since they will still need to be available as kcmodules.

To clarify:

Hidden=true means "completely deleted", like when the user deletes a K menu entry in kmenuedit,
then a Hidden=true .desktop file is created in his ~/.kde to "hide" the global file. This is why it's
called Hidden, but if this was stilll 1998, I would rename it Deleted.

NoDisplay=true means "it exists, but it doesn't appear". In particular it exists in ksycoca,
so code can run that .desktop file if it knows its name.
