Why fedora have not splitted packages? For example in Debian some packages, such as kde-games, kde-network and etc are splitted into small packages. It`s very good idea. End-user may select only needed packages or install virtual global package.
Because it's a whole lot of work for relatively little gain (disk space mainly)
IMO, In general, if upstream developers package their software/tarballs (e.g. kdegames, kdenetwork) monolitically, so should the rpm packaging.
