That is true. :)
Sorry for entering the discussion this late. My university account seems to 
have died this weekend and thus, I was cut off from the core-devel list 
without noticing until tonight...

As for the renaming to Braid: it is not that big a deal, mainly namespace 
changes and having a decent name is very important for a project that is 
dependant on developers picking it up.

And I also changes my plans a little based on Aaron's suggestion to avoid 
multiple libs: I will put everything into Braid: Konto, KNepomuk, and 
KMetaData, just handle them with different namespaces (yes, Aaron, I 
love 'em, the highly nested namespaces, they are so much fun! ;)
That way it will hopefully be easier for developers to understand what is 
what.

Cheers,
Sebastian
