Not all styles are code. Mine are pixmaps.
Can be packaged as .noarch RPM and ditributed for any platform, without 
compilation.

What I can propose here is to limit number of *backgrounds* (wallpapers) 
included with KDE by default. These are huge bitmaps, and they consume a lot 
of disk space. Besides, I doubt most of these backgrounds are updated from 
KDE 2.1 time.
Savings will be bigger than *excluding* some *looks-not-so-popular* but used 
by someone style.
So, putting them in separate package will help - you will not download it 
with each beta release.
