If distros go and upgrade their KDE tarballs to get the new version, what more 
hassle is it to just drop in a new CMake tarball before? CMake doesn't have 
any dependency changes in the last time I know of and also ships everything 
needed inside it's own tarball. So you are right that this is one more 
package, but I bet that KDE SC 4.10 would require other things to be upgraded 
too. But CMake will be the easiest thing to upgrade IMHO.
