I think I already asked this in another email (I'm jetlagged so my brain is 
acting weird XD) but, why is this specific?

It doesn't, it only applies to the shell (plasma-workspae + kwin), which I did 
in purpose because I'm not sure of what a "desktop | workspace" contain.

If we include bluedevil, randr etc into the workspace then the vision should 
be extended.

You only need to organize things when you have things to organize.

A user that only wants to watch lolcats on youtube and talk to friends via 
facebook doesn't.

A user that use the computer for multiple things or in multiple areas (work, 
home) may want to.

The workspace should be extensible by third party developers and thus should 
be able to integrate their applications with it not mattering on which 
technology the application is written.

Nothing that current plasma can't do.
