I wouldn't remove them completely *just yet* at least for the GNOME
spin - as the s-c-* utilities offer little extra configurability not
provided by the control panel applets yet (I checked for the 3
menu-duplicate items in particular), though generally they seem to
intersect nicely(but not completely) both in features and scope.
Additionally there are also some dependencies to them (notably anaconda
and firstboot for s-c-date, s-c-users and s-c-keyboard...)

When it comes to KDE spin, I see no point in keeping them as
systemsettings currently provides for then just fine. Exception being
again s-c-* needed for firstboot.

Definitely. I will try out how the NotShowIn / OnlyShowIn works in
practice in different desktop environments.
