Further possibilities of experiments aimed at searches for lepton-flavor violation in kaon decays at present and future intermediate-energy accelerators are considered. It is shown that such investigations are complementary to searches for muonic lepton-flavor-violating processes and can possess, in some models featuring approximately conserved generation quantum numbers of fundamental fermions, a very high and even record sensitivity. Searches for lepton-flavor-violating processes in kaon decays should be considered as a very important and independent part of the general program of searches for the violation of lepton flavors in processes involving charged leptons.
