I don't really care either way on the issue in hand, but for MOST
people, nobody will know the difference whether something is included
in kdebase or kdeartwork. Most distros install kdeartwork by default,
and so anything that is included in kdeartwork will look like it's one
of the base artwork of KDE.

Even then, for people who know the difference between kdeartwork and
kdebase, the way most distros ship binary packages, they won't be able
to install parts of kdeartwork that they like. This is particularily
burdensome, since one of the most popular styles: plastik, is included
in kdeartwork.

In the end, the whole CONCEPT of kdeartwork (and kdeaddons) fails to
fix the problem, but instead complicates things further.
