Yes that is a problem. I do believe that with 4.1 most distros will ship with 
disabled strigi (it is kdes default). And most Distros (at the moment) only 
use the redland backend. That misses some features (SPARQL keyword optional 
for example) and is really slow. It is not really usable with Amarok.

Also for most other uses it is too slow. The distros really should ship the 
sesame2 backend. Maybe it would be best to disable redland build (in Soprano 
cmake) by default and enable it with a cmake option.. 

My idea is: Adding settings for local  collections. There one should be able 
to add or remove local collections. so (like Jeff said) multible local 
collections would be possible. Nepomuk collection would be disabled by default 
(at least for 2.0).

That would mean some new settings but with good defaults that should be no big 
problem.
