The idea makes sense in principle, and IIRC it was already proposed some time 
ago. My memory on this is a bit vague, but I think the main response was that 
splitting packages into more smaller ones would be a too big burden for 
current undermanned Fedora KDE maintainers.

If you are willing to give them a hand and repackage 20 packages into 200 
smaller ones and keep maintaining them all, I don't recall any arguments 
against. Feel free to join the KDE SIG, talk to the maintainers about it and 
help with the heavy-lifting. :-)

Best, :-)
