i'm not 100% sure (but not 100% unsure, either) about that for a few reasons:

* it's a brand name, and history has shown those shift every so many years; 
i'd like to think plasma will stick around for a long, long time, but for a 
technical artifact, kdeworkspaces (or even kdebase-workspace) would be a safer 
term. or maybe i'm just being a pussy on this and should support a firm 
commitment to the name :)

* we have libplasma in kdelibs, plasma components in kdebase-runtime. kdebase-
workspace is not the only place for plasma components. the reason for putting 
items in kdebase-runtime is because applications not in the workspace package 
are using them

if the concern is that "kdebase-worspace" is too long or hangs on too much to 
the old modularization (which i would probably agree to :), perhaps we can 
just make it kde-workspaces or kdeworkspaces? or something similarly non-
branded?

if we do think that "plasma" is a better term for the module, i would at least 
like to see it made specific to the workspaces to differentiate it from the 
rest of the plasma work that resides elsewhere. plasma-workspaces, e.g.
