This wasn't discussed in any venue I frequent. IIRC there was some semi-open 
discussion between some promo/marketing folks and KDE e.V. Developers were 
never asked, let alone packagers.

There were no elections. Nor should there even be any for something like 
this. Just stick to the naming everyone knows, you (plural) cannot get the 
whole world to change at your (plural) whim.

Now stop acting like a broken record and trying to impose a naming onto 
everyone and accept the fact that the rest of the world will NEVER use this 
silly "KDE SC" etc. naming.

Look, I tried to use it at times, even though I hated it. I stopped when 
they started complaining about s/KDE/KDE SC/ and saying we should promote 
specific components to end users instead, and insisting on saying "Plasma 
Workspace" instead of "KDE Workspace". Now I just say "KDE" again, 
especially where it is clear from the context what I mean. There's clearly 
no version 4.6 of the KDE Community, so OF COURSE "KDE 4.6" refers to the 
software.

Even more of the stupid naming, I'm fed up of pedantic trolls like you who 
keep repeating the same whines over and over.
