I'm really surprised with all the advocates here. Isn't it the right way to
go, to always have as minimal install as possible, with just the basics for
the purpose? I truly believe that everyone grabs KDE spin for the Plasma
desktop, for the environment, and not for all the K* packages in the world.
Yes, experienced users may well grab KDE spin for Plasma, and then
proceed to customize it to their needs and/or preferences.
But there is also the audience who are trying out KDE (or Gnome/etc)
for the first time and providing them with an installed base of
software to try / check out is convenient and the right thing to do.
While you (and others) may well know the name of the software you like
for a given task, new people will not have that knowledge.

Yes, I've installed it and removed about a *gigabyte* of. I believe
that most people will use maybe one or two tools out of that list.
Yes, but its the age old problem that for that "most people" the 1 or
2 tools is different than the other person.
