I haven't seen many emails to that effect (but I am dead tired whenever I get 
home now), but you're exactly right.  With a working source checkout, you 
shouldn't ever have to checkout a module again.

If one finds they absolutely must checkout a module, please use one of the 
snapshots at http://kdesvn-build.kde.org/other/svn-checkout-tarballs.php

This will avoid extra bandwidth and CPU usage on the KDE servers.  I know it's 
mostly 3.5 modules, but kdelibs trunk is there, kdebase trunk should be there 
shortly (my computer is crunching it right now and then it needs to upload), 
and if you want the kdelibs snapshot, you should be able to svn switch from 
kdelibs trunk.
