I strongly disagree. Splitting KDE SC up more is a step in the right direction 
as it allows for easier control about what to install.

Again, I disagree. Yes, it's a bit more work but it reduces the "bloat" for 
users in the end. Most people don't need everything KDE SC has to offer and, 
thus, it's well worth some effort.

I suppose you've gotten rid of X.org, too? :-)
