In last weeks KDE-SIG meeting I proposed a split of the existing KDE

But be aware that both Than Ngo and me are very much against the idea.

This is the file everyone will have to download at every single update (even
non-KDE users). It has more than doubled in size! (And it is only the factor
which can be used here, not the absolute size, as only 5 modules were split
in this test. Splitting all the modules will probably lead to at least 200
KB of primary.sqlite.bz2.)
