Gwen,

thanks for your feedback.

I completely agree that KStreamBuilder#merge() is miss placed and should
belong to KStream. However, I wanted to keep this KIP focus on one thing.

As mentioned in a previous reply, we plan to have at least one more KIP
to clean up DSL -- this future KIP should include exact this change.
