With no judgement towards your broader point, I'd like to point out that this is no longer the case as of the orthographic agreement of 1990[0].

As far as I know it's been added back in order to better suit African speakers.

That's good to know. I learned Portuguese in '97-'99, so the information I had was incorrect at the time. We Anericans always recited the alphabet with k and y, but our teacher said they weren't official (although he also said that Brazilians would recognize them).
