Correct. The SC was just an engineering/technical term. It was never intended 
to us in promo communication or for end users (of our apps, not our libs). See 
all the recent release announcement. There we never used SC.

Dolphin for Plasma shouldn't be used as well, if I see it correctly, as 
Dolphin work on Gnome, razorqt and Co as well and not just on Plasma. So just 
"Dolphin" or "Dolphin by KDE". Plus what Luigi wrote!
