"More Applications" in desktop files

Hello,
there is a bug open about KCharSelect appearing both in the "Utilities"
category and in the "Utilities/More Applications" subcategory [1]. That
happens with all applications in the "Utilities/More Applications" category on
my system: KTimer, KCharSelect and Sweeper.
I'm not familiar with how the system works, but the desktop file looks fine to
me:
Categories=Qt;KDE;Utility;X-KDE-More;
For example I see this in kdf.desktop and it just shows up once:
Categories=Qt;KDE;System;X-KDE-More;
Apart from that this issue should be looked into, I honestly don't really like
having the "More Applications" subcategory at all. It just adds complexity by
splitting the menu arbitrarily.
It also looks like kdeutils is the only module still using X-KDE-More, at
least on my system I could only find 3 apps in "Utiltities" and 2 apps in
"System".
Are there any objections on removing X-KDE-More completely for these 5 apps? I
also don't see any reason to classify any of these apps as less important than
the other ones.
