The various addressbook implementations have been unified in 
KAddressBook (application) and KABC (backend library). Support for the 
home-brewn KMail addressbook has been discontinued when KAddressBook 
learned to manage distribution lists.

It's not bloated since it's shared code. In fact, KMail's traditional 
address book was more bloat b/c it duplicated functionality and was 
only available to KMail itself. So in a sense, KMail has become more 
clean and mean and less bloated by that removal. ;-)
