It's still nice to have some kind of grouping defined by the KDE release; the
reason for that being that it's much easier to say "install kdegames" than
"install khangman and kgoldrunner and ktiktaktoe and ksnap and ltskat and ..."
and if "kdegames" -- or "kdeessentials" -- refers to the same name across
distro's, that's good for migrating users. You really don't want a (non-smart)
distro saying "Oh, we didn't think kmix was essential" .
If there's a list of "these 38 repositories / tarballs are the essentials this
time around" then that at least is a strong indication that that's what
upstream (i.e. us as KDE) wants.
