Maybe I'm just missing something, but from what I just read, the RoHS directive is just that--a directive, not a law. So, I don't see why the KOP manufacturers would change based on a directive.
Now, I could be wrong, but that's what the Wiki article says:

Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) 2002/95/EC [1] was adopted in February 2003 by the European Union. The RoHS directive took effect on July 1, 2006, but is not a law; it is simply a directive.

It does seem that these requirements would not be fun to comply with, but I don't see anywhere that the kit of parts must comply.
