You mean, this part:

?  If that's what users want, how did they do it before this change?

It was the motivation for the change, AFAIU, and I'm not at all sure
KDE is the only environment where the problem happens.

If the desktop doesn't behave like KDE, users could simply set both
formats to two identical strings.  The only reason to force Emacs to
use the _same_ string (which can only be done internally) is that
those desktops misbehave.

So I don't see why we should remove the explanation.

Sorry, I don't think I understand what you mean here.
