I haven't really checked on what is considered a minimal buildroot these days, but I think nothing in it even comes close to kdelibs :) The issue with a couple more BR or a dozen for some packages like kdelibs just mean that for some chroot builds the build system would install a couple (or dozen) too many *-devel packages (along with the mandatory in both cases non devel packages). The drawback is that these packages will need a couple of seconds more to build. Do we really care? -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
