Plugin mechanisms to provide essential functionality really suck for packaging. It means the dependencies no longer get autodetected by RPM and we have to manually add Requires for all the stuff to get actually working applications. See e.g.: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744443 for an example. (In that case, the problem is KTextEditor, which is in kdelibs, but the actual implementation is in the kate tarball.)
