I thought you'd be happy about one dependency less :)
There's nothing in kdebase that needs smtp or pop3, so it seems very arbitrary to
make kdebase depend on that.

Minimal means minimal :)
But distributors can always have a kde-desktop meta-package that includes 
kdelibs + kdepimlibs + kdebase-* if they feel it should be there...
Compile-time dependency != what makes a minimal kde desktop.

If the libs in kdepimlibs should always always always be there then we might as
well put them in kdelibs. But I don't think that's the case. There's nothing in kdegames,
kdeutils, kdetoys, k3b, quanta, etc. etc. that needs any pim libs or ioslaves. So
better keep things modular IMHO, and allow people who don't need kdepimlibs to
not install it.
