What makes you think we haven't?

Can you please tell us if there are concrete problems you see? Lecturing us 
about due process for purely academic reasons is not something we think is 
worth our time.

If you're keen on keeping it, feel free to recover the code and put it in your 
own KCM. kinfocenter is a plugin-based thing for a reason.
