Looking at the wiki, it says "KDE Plasma *". Originally we went for "Plasma
by KDE" format
to get further from the idea that Plasma = KDE and make the rebranding
clearer.
Was that dropped? Or just forgotten?

Imho puts a nicer touch to the name than "KDE Plasma" (which still supports
the Plasma = KDE)
