Ok but where is the line between help and bloat?
KIO protocols (like kparts) are useful, but sometimes gets abused, while 
media:/ for example it's a good abstraction of what happens underneath the 
gui, other are often unecessary, for example, application:/ why is needed? 
there is the kmenu, settings:/ , there is kcontrol, also homes:/ I don't say 
"I don't like this then it cannot be done" but I think that there is the need 
of some guidelines, or we get kde use ONLY KIOs everywhere, getting rid of 
kcontrol and other things, round all the rough edges of this possible 
implementation, and stay with this design, or draw a line where KIOs get 
used, and where somehow "standard" ideas (as seen on other system) get used.
To me both ways could work very well, but only if developers stick with one 
design and don't mess with other (like the actual kde)
Cheers
