Interesting!

However, AFAIK work is underway to make an independent version of kwin that does not rely on KDE's libraries, therefore we should be looking at what will be needed to make the switch once that version is available. The dependency on kdelibs5 means most pure KDE applications and components are essentially off limits to TDE, however as a result of the KDE4 transition many applications now only depend on Qt4, or offer a version that does not depend on KDE. As a result we will only need to be concerned with Qt4 library overhead for most components, which should be minimal. Tim
