Well, that doesn't show the direct dependencies on "parted". Package "parted" contains shared libs, which likely are linked with desktop framework components which cannot be removed. A basic and more direct depcheck is like this (but not with KDE):
# rpm --test --erase parted error: Failed dependencies: libparted.so.2()(64bit) is needed by (installed) libvirt-daemon-0.10.2.1-3.fc18.x86_64 parted is needed by (installed) libvirt-daemon-0.10.2.1-3.fc18.x86_64 parted is needed by (installed) udisks2-2.0.0-1.fc18.x86_64

In particular,
$ rpm -e parted error: Failed dependencies: ... libparted.so.2()(64bit) is needed by (installed) udisks-1.0.4-8.fc18.x86_64 libparted.so.2()(64bit) is needed by (installed)
So, not so insane afterall. There's *lots* of infrastructure that uses upower
One could argue for splitting libparted from the pkg parted packaging (which is ~2.3mb in total by the way), but i'm not sure if it's worth it.

According to repoquery: Most of Kde seems to be taken out by parted -> udisks -> kdelibs -> All of kde. Most of gnome seems to have a similar problem but through parted -> udisks2 -> gvfs.
Since i don't know a lot about udisks so whether these dependencies are sane or not is for someone else to decide.
