It seems they've quit with the "K" thing. In fact, the in thing now days seems to be an "anti-K" thing, generally making it a "C" thing (which this matches), sort of playing off on how everything had to have a k in it for so long.

Personally, I preferred the K thing, altho at least from the US perspective I do remember a bit of early discomfort due to the similarity to "Komrade", given the anti-communism politics here, especially since FLOSS was already getting some accusations of that. Still, the K thing did give it a distinctive identity and when "k" was the initial letter as was common, it made finding kde apps easy. =:^)

Huh? There is nothing about K instead of C for "comrade" related to communism, AFAIK?

Maybe Das Kapital created some association for the letter K?

And Krutshev was "Mr K".
