huge waste of compile time (not so much for KDE but more for the
databases), opening to all sort of possible attacks by bugs in these
databases whose servers need to be running etc.

I doubt that if you count these servers the difference is only 10 megs.
And on my machines with 512 MB RAM also losing 10 megs of RAM for
nothing (well - for increasing the attack vector) is an issue.

For "Take the full bloat or nothing" one can better choose a
binary distribution.
