I have started to clean up the kcontrol docbook locations in cases where the 
kcm code is in a different repository than the corresponding docbook, which I 
consider as wrong.

See e.g:
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/128912/  (cache, proxy, useragent, cookies, 
netpref, ebrowsing, smb docbooks in plasma-desktop)

https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/128914/ (filetypes kcm docbook in plasma-
desktop)

https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/128907/ (Konqueror kcm docbooks in plasma-
desktop)

Then it should be fixed...

They're used, though, for KIO. (I tend to agree that they should not be all 
shown in systemsettings, that has been confusing me as well.)

The web shortcuts perhaps is an exemption, as that's also used by krunner, 
iirc.
