But why install something you don't intend to use?  I don't use KDE, so
I don't have it installed.  If I did, then I'd have many megabytes of my
bandwidth chewed through any time I did a simple "yum update."  Not to
mention the potential for having more problems with my computer, simply
by having more software there, if it's not a *completely* dormant thing.

If you don't use it, remove it (or inhibit it being updated via yum configuration). I think Tim's point is that you don't need an exploding number of spins for every desktop out there, of which there are many. Personally I use KDE but do much of my mailing with Evolution, so I have the necessary Gnome libraries for that. One desktop doesn't rule out using bits of another. Having a DE-specific spin is a convenience but is in no way a requirement.
