I know. I was referring to Evolution alone drawing in most of GNOME as 
dependencies. Now I personally don't have a problem with having to install 
GNOME libraries (I install whatever (appropriately licensed) libraries programs 
I want to use or even just try out require), but I'm not convinced Evolution is 
a good reason to include them. (In fact, it seems to be the most hated default 
app in Fedora judging from the comments on the mailing lists, some GNOME users 
are looking for an alternative too, some even switched to Kontact or KMail.)

I use KMail and Konqueror (as browser - I use Krusader as my file manager) all 
the time, they work fine for me.

For the office suite, I don't need it often, so I could probably do with 
KOffice, but I do see the difference in features, so I do think OO.o is nice to 
have on the KDE spin (though it would be nice if the KDE integration (KDE NWF, 
KDE file dialogs) was available again, it had been for a moment in late OO.o 1 
times and then got dropped again with OO.o 2).
