The "KDE x" formats makes that particular application bound to that designation. If someone writes a better organizer like application, do we switch KDE Calendar to that new application? How does that work? 

Mailody would become "KDE Mail 2" then I guess?

Besides, my mother would interpret KDE AddressBook as the addressbook with KDE people. She does not care about that prefix. 

Although I know the KDE world is against me, I find the k prefix a strong brand. Just like iPod, iCalendar, iTunes, iMail, iPhone btw.
