I strongly disagree with this. If we can only discuss usability about a part 
of KDE, what's the point? Usability depends, among other things, on 
consistency. If we can't make some parts of KDE more consistent with others, 
how are we supposed to improve overall consistency in the first place?

Besides, most users will probably install the default collection of KDE 
packages, which differs between distros. So the inconsistencies will be 
apparent to those users.
