I am sure that the Slackware packagers are aware of that benefit, given=

they're doing the packaging. ;)

I think his point is that is bloats the *number* of individual KDE pack=
ages,=20
which is incontrovertible (and as Eric noted, also the reason that Slac=
kware=20
itself no longer packages GNOME).

I think that "all" that Eric is asking for is a KDE-provided "meta" pac=
kage=20
re-lumping individual packages together for ease of packaging. Slackwar=
e=20
third-parties could provide individual split packages if it were highly=
=20
desired by their users.
