Interesting thought, I wonder what the consequences would actually be.
Anyway, Rex said that we're moving towards a more modular KDE anyway,
because of the ability to run them on netbooks, etc. Will be
interesting to see if this becomes a problem.
We are moving towards more likely "logical units" instead of complete splits -
like minimal packages that makes sense etc. On the other hand - upstream wants
to aim more on individual applications instead of one big packages (but still
packaged together).
