What is a release? In terms of KDE isn't it just the official shoutout "We 
have stable running code with new features", accompanied by some SVN TAG? 
With prepacked tarballs for convenience? Nobody is forced to download the 
whole of KDE! It is up to you or the distributor what you take.

In the opposite: The synchronized development of all the official KDE 
applications gives new features in the libs a heavy testing before they are 
released. The value of this cannot be overestimated. The less apps, the less 
testing.
