Yes but as I hope you can appreciate, sorting out floppy-disk formatting is somewhat low on the list of priorities right now - not least because I suspect that the majority of KDE developers do not even have floppy-disk drives in their laptops or workstations. Consequently Kubuntu for example doesn't ship the utility out of the box and I'm sure that is true of other distributions as well - that is the simplest way to stop it from cluttering up the K-Menu.

If this is something of a bugbear for you then I encourage you to get involved yourself - even if that means just asking your distribution not to include it out of the box.

One last thing to point out - "Solid","Phonon","Nepomuk" etc. are all libraries of code there for use by developers. They are not programs which the user can interact with directly. If you are not developing KDE software then they are not directly of interest to you.
