But be aware that both Than Ngo and me are very much against the idea.

This is the file everyone will have to download at every single update (even
non-KDE users). It has more than doubled in size! (And it is only the factor
which can be used here, not the absolute size, as only 5 modules were split
in this test. Splitting all the modules will probably lead to at least 200
KB of primary.sqlite.bz2.)
