1: They are already in khelpcenter, and that builds from the same source.
2: This panel was placed quite deliberately in kinfocenter, because=20
kinfocenter shows information about what is installed, not just hardware, b=
ut=20
software too (X Server for instance) =20
3: The point of the panel is the list of installed kioslaves, the fact it=20
happens to show some extended information about them is incidental, there i=
s=20
no other place this information is available from the GUI, and since not al=
l=20
kioslaves provide the additional documentation, the list in khelpcenter is=
=20
not a sufficient replacement.  On IRC, or in email, you can simply point=20
people asking for help to this panel, to find out if they have the audiocd,=
=20
or the fish, or whatever kioslave installed.
4: Given that the point of the panel is to display installed kioslaves, but=
=20
you can do no configuration here, the panel fits perfectly with the other=20
kinfocenter panels - which also show information about things installed, bu=
t=20
don't provide configuration.

I don't.
