it just introduces a new complexity: which of these bazillion libraries do i 
use and what's the overhead of having so many of them? (not to mention the 
complications for us actually making that library).

QtCore isn't a bazillion libraries either.

what i do agree with, however, is that kdecore (as example) does need:

* to be properly documented from a higher level than it is now

* should have KDE platform features separated out from app dev framework 
features

which begs the question: "is KConfig (as ane exmple) platform or app dev"? fun 
conversations to be had and digging to be done :)
