It's not about Plasma, it shows info about distro, hardware, graphics, etc. 
It's pretty much a dumping ground with multiple vague use cases. Looking at 
the code, one thought I got was "this was probably written by someone who 
thought 'ah, I can add this semi-useful feature in just half an hour' without 
thinking of long-term technical debt". Very much "just because we can", not 
very thought through as a whole.

Indeed. My change was not trying to get a generalized policy implemented, but 
to fix the wrong use of the KDE brand. We do have people telling us that 
they'll happily use KDE to refer to the desktop because we don't even use it 
consistently ourselves. My change addresses this consistency issue.

I don't want to change the binary name, never considered that.

Can we please bury this tangent now? :)
