I would feel very relieved if the old monolithic tarballs would stay as a download option. Even if the release team maintains a series of scripts that makes a controlled checkout of monolithic tarballs possible for packagers, that would be an acceptible solution. I expressed my thoughts on the split of kdeedu in an earlier post and coincidentally I fired up this discussion on my blog and the SLackware forum a few hours ago... Slackware will have to consider dropping KDE if we are confronted with source fragmentation. We are a small team and can not accept the added burden of maintaining a fragmented KDE based desktop environment. Fragmenting the source tarballs may be only one step but seeing what happens in GNOME land, with Redhat employees forcibly pushing people into directions they do not want to be taken, I would welcome it if KDE would remain the sane, independent desktop enviroment, or even Software Collection, that I have come to love.
