--- Comment #33 from Christoph Cullmann <cullmann at kde.org> ---
Actually, comparing file sizes is not important.

Yes, the new installers are larger, in most parts due to
spellcheckers/translations + e.g. icons.

The important part is: they are kind of maintained.

The nice 4.10.2 release from X years ago has security flaws like
https://kde.org/info/security/advisory-20190807-1.txt (and that is just one
inside our libs, not counting the stuff we bundled there)

If you use e.g. Kate with the built-in file browser from that version, you
might just get hi-jacked just by browsing e.g. your Downloads folder...

I really think we shall not make it easy to install that stuff.
