Uninstalling kdemod

I'm wondering, am I the only one who was expieriencing problems uninstalling kdemod?
Just in case I'm not, here's a quick summary of how I got rid of kdemod.

It sounded easy intially:
A post here
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kdemod
says:
... remove KDEMod via

pacman -Rsu kdemod-uninstall 

That's what I did and things seemed to be working nicely (initially).

Nicely up to the moment kde 4.6 was distributed on the mirrors. And then lots of things stopped working. When I tried to find the cause, I noticed I still had a lot of kdemod-libs installed.

Well to cut a long story short, here's what I did to get things working again.

instead of

sudo pacman -Rsu kdemod-uninstall 

do

sudo pacman -Rsd kdemod-uninstall
sudo pacman -S kdelibs
sudo pacman -Sf kdebase-runtime kdepim-runtime kdepimlibs kdegraphics-libs

Okay, I'm just running the minimal installation of the KDE SC, perhaps I wouldn't have run into any problems using the kde group or the kde-meta meta-package.
