Who is "others"?
In general, when criticizing, can you give concrete examples and provide
alternative solutions? I can't really address your concerns otherwise.
You're hinting that I broke something. Could you point out what? In my
testing, and when I checked, everything still worked and even made more sense,
with less wrong usage of the "KDE" brand. That's why the patches passed review
and have been pushed to master.

I think generic names are great because it's something the user can understand
without context. You're not actually supporting your own statements, I can't
reasonably work with that kind of criticism.
I'd like to address your feedback and come to a solution everyone is happy
with, but for that, please provide suggestions what to use instead, and don't
just point out "that's bad", because the previous naming was wrong, and the
current isn't (AFAICS), so it's not an option to just revert, I'd rather fix
it.
Cheers,
