No, because kids are already going to be using other applications anyway.  
Kids can have a customized environment by using large fonts, simple mouse 
settings, easy to understand widget styles.

Oh, and not all apps in kde-edu are aimed at young children.  KStars and 
Kiten come immediately to mind.

I would suggest that developers who don't want to follow the KDE styleguide 
shouldn't put their apps in the KDE release.  Uniformity is one of the 
defining features of KDE.
