When I said lets remove the "KDE" from "KDE Plasma" was in order to
emphasize that KDE is the community.
TBH I don't believe that by removing the "KDE", plasma is taking some
distance from KDE. Also there are a lot of projects inside KDE
which aren't using the "KDE" word and they don't take any distance from
KDE, for instance the most references in plasma active are
"Plasma Active" and not "KDE Plasma Active", but PA doesn't have any
distance from KDE. I believe that projects take some distance
from "KDE" when they stop referring to it and not when they remove the
"KDE" word, but that is just me of course :)
