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

I don't.
