I'm running F27, fully updated; but my query has to do with a

be glad of reassurance about that.
Let me say in advance that I realize any application I launch may
itself launch others, without telling me; and I'm fine with that.
I use very little of KDE; when trying to do a lean fresh install,
I look only for Konqueror and k3b. But dnf soon begins to list dozens of
KDE apps as upgrades.
KDE frameworks (libraries?) updates?
Today I got a sidelight on this habit. I had somehow (certainly
not by any conscious decision of mine) managed to install speech-
dispatcher, and tried to remove it. Dnf proposed to take away most of KDE
along with it, including k3b and Konqueror.
That will be removable as soon as the update referenced earlier in this
thread is available to you (it's in -testing now, stable updates hopefully
soon):
