It doesn't seem like a complain, if you read it like you would really answe=
r it.
It wast just a comment to justify the question. I don't see a reason
to question his comment. Gentoo is about choice (not just compiling),
and this thread is about Getting rid of all KDE components. Someone
goes off-topic and all of a sudden the OP feels attacked (I would feel
the same). If you're not going to answer the question, don't send it
to the list.
I have removed KDE long time ago, and right now I have most of it back
so I can use one or two programs (I just love K3B, never used KDE as a
WM, but K3B kicks ass, and Gentoo, as I said, is about choice). It
seems to me that if you remove all kde basic components, all
dependencies (its the case of your arts list) would be target for
removal by emerge --depclean... Run revdep-rebuild and maybe check the
-e option of emerge to get rid of whatever is left (or wants to come
back).
