These are words. The meaning of words strongly depend on the cutural=20=

background, the peer group you are a part of and even just personal=20
preferences.

I honestly do not understand why people are always fighting over=20
words. No user cares about whether KDE is the software or the=20
community. No user cares about whether it's KDE Desktop or Plasma. No=20=

user cares about the name of the Info Center (what is this anyway?).
They only care once until they found it. After that they follow clicks=20=

or whatever name they found it under.

If that was not the case, people would never be able to use computers=20=

at all with abstract-named application.
I need a Desktop -> ah, Plasma might be it.
I need a package manager -> ah, Muon sounds promising.
I want to write a letter -> hmm, I bet it's Calligra
Or let's browse the internet on a burning animal! (yeah yeah, it's not=20=

really a burning animal, I know)

Names are names. A tiny bit of the freedom the developers enjoy to=20
give their application a personal touch or subjectively a better name=20=

than the others did. They are good and bad at the same time according=20=

to whom you ask. Is "Mail" or "Thunderbird" a better application name=20=

for an email application? Let the fighting begin.

Or just stop fighting over names. There is no KDE 5, There is no=20
technology with the name KDE. "A" is a KDE application and "B" is just=20=

an application using KDE. Who cares.

For me, changing "KDE Info Center" to "Info Center" is up to the=20
developers who do the work. But it's not an important enough change to=20=

break string freeze. No user will be confused about the KDE because no=20=

user understands, what KDE is anyway. And how many developers do?

Anyway, please stop fighting. All the reasoning you think make your=20
point clear for everyone, probably doesn't. It's just your own=20
personal interpretation and others will have as good reasons as yours=20=

to claim the opposite.

Cheers,
