If the distinction is hard to keep in everyday written mail, then it's
badly designed. KDE has always been meant desktop and framework to me
and some other people I know. The recent change has to prove its
usefulness but not via forcing/unpolite behaviour.
We're not accusing anyone who uses Calligra term instead Calligra
Engine Frameworks 2.4 of being uneducated. We use Calligra libs
ex-changeably from time to time.

It's good that the problem popped up: I don't know about you but it
shows that I still want to be a bit more human in the press kit,
otherwise I sound rather like a J2EE/Oracle guy using too many
acronyms [1]. Yet I do not expect even this correctness here in a
normal writing.

Please note that KDE itself is a problem since its meaning has been
replaced with magic non-acronym. So its building on a problematic
rename. Just a fact not criticism.

Just relax.
