Hi,

i would love to see those packages split. I don't use kde as DE but 
maybe i will use some of their programs (e.g. kopete). Currently i would 
have to use kdemod's 3rd-party repos and include them to pacman.conf for 
installing those 1-2 apps, but would prefer to do this from arch's 
official ones.

In my opinion people want to use kdemod because of the look and some 
other special tweaks as a complete DE rather than use their repository 
for maybe modified single programs, so i don't see any problems for the 
"complementary mode".

Regards
Tobias
