I don't see that. You install a Plasma desktop. Then you need a text editor, 
you install kwrite. Then you need support for sftp://, you install kio-extras.
The latter integrates with the desktop differently than the former, but other 
than that, it's all about additional features at runtime, which you can 
install from KDE Applications, no matter which workspace/desktop you're using.

I strongly believe kio-extras should be in applications.

I am not opposed to having it in frameworks if that's the consensus, but I 
find it arguable. It brings features to users (like apps), not to application 
developers (like frameworks).
