These are words. The meaning of words strongly depend on the cutural 
background, the peer group you are a part of and even just personal 
preferences.

I honestly do not understand why people are always fighting over 
words. No user cares about whether KDE is the software or the 
community. No user cares about whether it's KDE Desktop or Plasma. No 
user cares about the name of the Info Center (what is this anyway?).
They only care once until they found it. After that they follow clicks 
or whatever name they found it under.

If that was not the case, people would never be able to use computers 
at all with abstract-named application.
I need a Desktop -> ah, Plasma might be it.
I need a package manager -> ah, Muon sounds promising.
I want to write a letter -> hmm, I bet it's Calligra
Or let's browse the internet on a burning animal! (yeah yeah, it's not 
really a burning animal, I know)

Names are names. A tiny bit of the freedom the developers enjoy to 
give their application a personal touch or subjectively a better name 
than the others did. They are good and bad at the same time according 
to whom you ask. Is "Mail" or "Thunderbird" a better application name 
for an email application? Let the fighting begin.

Or just stop fighting over names. There is no KDE 5, There is no 
technology with the name KDE. "A" is a KDE application and "B" is just 
an application using KDE. Who cares.

For me, changing "KDE Info Center" to "Info Center" is up to the 
developers who do the work. But it's not an important enough change to 
break string freeze. No user will be confused about the KDE because no 
user understands, what KDE is anyway. And how many developers do?

Anyway, please stop fighting. All the reasoning you think make your 
point clear for everyone, probably doesn't. It's just your own 
personal interpretation and others will have as good reasons as yours 
to claim the opposite.

Cheers,
Frederik
