Personally, I'd love to split kopete from kdenetwork (and still keep all the 
benefits of being part of a main KDE release) since I'm really only interested 
in working on Kopete. I couldn't care less about the rest of kdenetwork (even 
though there are some great apps in there) since I generally don't touch the 
code.
