It`s very good idea. End-user may select only needed packages or install
virtual global package.
Because it's a whole lot of work for relatively little gain (disk space
mainly)
IMO, In general, if upstream developers package their software/tarballs
(e.g. kdegames, kdenetwork) monolitically, so should the rpm packaging.
