Can you be more specific? What version of Fedora didnt include the
latest KDE at that time?

Splitting up packages can make it harder for maintenance.
Of course, but splitted packages are easier to use. What do we care
about ? users or packagers ? I prefer GNOME, but I know that KDE's
packaging in fedora is one thing that makes me use GNOME as well.
Having splitted packages would not make me use KDE, but it would be a
minus less for KDE.
Moreover, as an ambassador, I can tell that this way of packaging KDE is
really bad seen by the foss community. Chitlesh is from my pov
completely right.
Some of the
packages under review are being evaluated to do this however.
