I don't disagree, but what do you propose? They move to extragear? ;-)

Funny. I tried to answer your question, but clearly all our thoughts
about rebranding have been about the *workspace*. The other two brands
have been ignored almost completely.

I agree with your sentiment. However I personally find KDE Development
Platform better sounding than KDE Application Framework. KDP vs KAF :D

What do others think?

This is a translation issue too, I suppose, btw... We need to settle
this soon (and it's bad that I won't be here for the rest of the
day....)
