I don’t think k3b is a good example. There is one single application
used throughout GNOME by everything that needs to burn CDs, it is
brasero. Allowing k3b in addition is just confusing.

kopete is even a worse case. For GNOME 3, instant messaging is
integrated to the core of the desktop (gnome-panel and gnome-shell),
through the Telepathy framework.

For kate, I’d say “why not”. It’s very similar to gedit in terms of
functionality, but text editors are somehow like ice cream flavors and
you can’t explain people’s preferences.
