Konqueror is based on a flexible plugin-oriented architecture.  It's not
something you can permanently remove, as the plugin can always be compiled
after Konqueror is installed. ;-)

There are no plans to remove any Konqueror functionality at this time. 
There are plans however to improve the KHTML plugin so that it is usable
again on modern sites.
