That is not true. 

The large majority of your _userbase_ does not identify themselves with, say, 
solid, okular, libkipi, phonon, and krosspython. Maybe some technically minded 
people are huge enthusiasts about plasma. In the end, however, what people are 
talking about is the entity KDE, and what people appreciate is its entirety as 
desktop environment. Not a development library framework. "Software 
Collection" at least had that still half-way in mind.

Even plasma will by most people be perceived as "the desktop of KDE".

Please don't misunderstand me, of course for software developers the viewpoint 
is a bit different, but I'm talking about users here. 

In the end, you will be perceived for what you release - and here we get back 
to this list. KDE lives from being a consistent whole. Eric Hameleers already 
made some very valid points there. Breaking KDE up does not help, and the 
coordinated releases were/are a great thing.
