No, sorry. "KDE Applications" has the brand in its name, but it is
still generic.

I may request the same regarding "Apps Bundle" being distinguishable
enough compared to "KDE Applications". I fail to see your point as
convincing enough. I strongly believe that a totally generic ("KDE
fritzsomething") would be more useful, should we change this name,
Can you please spend one month on #kde and the KDE-related support
channel of the distributions and see how and what people ask for when
they look for "applications" and "KDE"?
Ciao
