What I mean is that people are weary of the MS habit of tieing apps to other 
products. Stuff like "can't buy X (which you need) unless you take Y with 
it".

Some people I've either personally met or seen posting to the Internet have 
the feeling that the KDE releases are somehow flooding them with apps, which 
they need to install.

But the fact is that good distros (like Debian or SuSE) provide fine-grained 
packages, such as Kate, juK etc.

If I understood this correctly, the KDE source releases come in big bundles in 
order to reduce packaging/release management overhead, they don't mean to say 
that their contents depend upon each other. (e.g. I don't need KEdit in order 
to have Kate)
