Decide yourself man, you're saying that you don't like split ebuilds, why 
would you use them then?, you like the entire kde as before?, just emerge 
kde-meta, thats all, one ebuild, as before. You want the independent previous 
ebuilds?, just emerge kdebase-meta, kdegraphics-meta, etc etc, just a change 
of it's name, I really don't understand your problem.
I, like you, feel that split ebuilds are too complicated, I've test them and 
someone had to tell me that if I wanted to look at a man page I had to emerge 
kioslaves, I didn't even knew what a kioslave is, so I would have never find 
that out. I just now realized that if I wanted kwrite I needed to emerge 
kate, who would have though that?. But my point is, that although I don't 
like it and I feel it's too much trouble for me right now, why wouldn't I let 
others enjoy this feature?, I will just keep emerging kde-meta and thats all, 
maybe it will take some more time to emerge, I really don't care, 12 hours or 
14 or 16, it's the same, I'm used to it, like every gentoo user I guess...
