Thanks for the list, some of that stuff should indeed be in the base KDE
Plasma Desktop group (but not all!):

Yes.

No, that's not minimal at all.
What drags this in as a dependency? And what's the larger dependency that
gets dragged in otherwise? (I don't see what other dependency sane-backends-
libs could replace, sounds like a packaging bug.)

Should be dragged in by dependencies already, but I guess it helps to list
this explicitly for the folks who enable RPM Fusion during installation, who
might otherwise end up with phonon-backend-vlc instead, which I don't think
should be the default.

Yes, of course.

Maybe, not sure. Though currently kde-workspace drags it in anyway so that
"right-click, Konsole" always works.

No. That really needs to be optional.

Yes, those are needed for workspace-system integration.

No. Purely optional and should be automatically installed through Plasma
PackageKit integration when needed (if not, file a bug).

> system-config-firewall-base
No. Those are admin tools, not KDE-related at all.
> kde-plasma-networkmanagement
Yes, system integration, same as for Apper and BlueDevil.
> kde-partitionmanager
No, should be in a kde-admin-tools subgroup/option.
> kwrite
Maybe. Like Konsole, this one can be argued to be part of the workspace.
