No, that still doesn't work. When the user unmerges kde-meta, with your

Maybe what is needed is an enhancement to portage to allow the removal
of a meta-package to (optionally) also remove the 'real' packages
which it caused to be installed.
Heard of emerge --depclean? Use it with care, though.

When user upgrades to modular X.org there is a block that requires him to
