No. There can be applications making use of nepomuk by 4.1, and then we can 
include a polished and tested version of it in kdelibs for 4.1. 

if we put nepomuik into kdelibs for KDE 4.0, then we have to stay compatible 
with it (also binary compatibility). 

only few applications should be affected by nepomuk - and thats why I think it 
makes sense to slip it for KDE 4.1. 

Just because its not in kdelibs doesn't mean applications can't make use of 
it. It just means its not part of 4.0. And thats great. Remember, there is 
life after KDE 4.0 (at least if we ever manage to release 4.0 instead of 
cramming every possible new feature in it (2nd version syndrome).
