The talk is intended to motivate the use of DA$Φ$NE--2 running at the $ϕ$ peak as an intense, clean source of low--momentum charged and neutral kaons. It covers a few open problems still unsolved after more than twenty--five years and the physics (some of it still novel) that could be learned only in this way. And, of course, the answer to the above question is {\sl NO}.
We present results from a dispersion--relation investigation on a coupled--channel analysis of $\bar{K}N$--initiated processes in the low-- and intermediate--energy region. The analysis demonstrates both the effectiveness of these relations to constrain the parameters of the unmeasurable $πY$ channels and the need for better data in the low--energy region, such as could be provided at a $ϕ$--factory.
