The issue fixed here is an inconsistency in that opening KCMs from Plasma applet context menu would still open it in KCMShell, not System Settings or Info Center (which in 5.19 is now just System Settings; the same app shows both).
  
  
  If the scope of this change is just about Plasma applet, of course systemsettings is going to be around.
  But are you sure you want to kill kcmshell? KCMs are not for Plasma only. Opening them outside Plasma would still require a minimal shell.
  
  Regarding this change, I guess you may have discussed it already, but wouldn't it be possible to find out whether systemsettings is available (and then kinfocenter) and use it, without adding a new function?
