Sometimes KDE users are a bit antsy when it comes to non-KDE packages on
their system. I don't generally complain because I have QT and arts
installed on my default GNOME system, I mean sure they take up space and
I don't need them in my daily life - but it's a binary upgrade - I
suffer no illeffects from having them installed, instead it enables me
to easily get KDE/QT programs running on my machine.

Dependencies are normally not installed just for kicks. If the biggest
complaint about Fedora for anyone is a few unwanted dependencies they
should praise themselves lucky, their system works so well they have
time to spare to spot such things that don't apply on their specific
system.
