I'd like to suggest following agenda items:

1. Proposition to split desktop profile to: KDE, Gnome, (and maybe some 
others).
That being said active presence of some Gnome guys would be most appreciated.

2. Discussion of KDE4 split ebuild policy. I think we need to sanitize it a 
bit (more functional/application approach) - especially regarding kdepim, 
kdebase-workspace.

How about making a desktop profile with everything common and being
the parent of Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc... sub-profiles with the specific
stuff?

Sure, provided there's point in doing so (like to enable X USE flag there? 
truetype? maybe dbus?) .
One parent profile more won't hurt anyway - it can be made empty for now, and 
left to be really used in the future - but certainly current bloat needs to be 
purged from there.

It's not even funny to suggest users to use desktop profile as it will pull 
all KDE and all Gnome related dependencies which is silly, no matter DE one 
prefers.

With that under discussion, what about a kde (or full desktop profile 
tree) amd64 no-multilib profile?

I've been using no-multilib for some time, but it doesn't have a desktop 
subprofile.  With multi-parent cascading, it shouldn't be difficult to 
create one, kde specifically or desktop.  Just having the appropriate
no-multilib and kde or desktop as parents should do it I think.  That 
should take care of masking the 32-bit-only stuff and setting libdir and 
whatever, plus setting grub-static as default system bootloader, which is 
more or less what no-multilib does, AFAIK.
