So there is a strong agreement that KDE 3 should be trimmed.
Before aja@ goes tedu and remove whole x11/kde with all dependants,
here is a proposal that keeps some unique parts of KDE 3, while
removing most heavy parts. This should help bulk builders by
minimizing time spent in tagged builds. Further plans include
trimming of x11/kde/base3 and, maybe, others, allowing to get
rid of dpb tags entirely.

There are three lists below. I'm asking all interested parties
take attention at the third one, and tell your opinions (either in
public or privately, at your option).

Thank you all in advance for reading. :)
