Personally, I'd rather not see kdelibs require aRts anymore than it 
currently does.  It's highly likely that for KDE 4 we'll be dropping aRts, 
so we shouldn't add anything new that will just need rewritten when the 
time comes.

Even so, I'd be very surprised if KNotify or libartskde had new 
requirements on aRts 1.2.  If such requirements popped up, sure, I'd 
reconsider.  But I don't expect it to happen.

Anyone who feels like installing GNOME might, sure.  But that's their 
choice.  Nothing in KDE forces them to do that.
