You are right and normally I would agree. But in this case I would love to see 
an exception since the changes mean a performance improvement that is really 
needed in Nepomuk.

Actually I have two: the one I was talking about before which changes the API 
of classes Nepomuk::Class and Nepomuk::Property and removes 
Nepomuk::OntologyManager and Nepomuk::Ontology.

The second one changes Nepomuk::Resource from using QString to QUrl for all 
URIs (the properties are still missing though). This second patch is mainly 
to improve the API and would be nice. But in the end it is my own fault that 
I did not do this sooner. Very stupid actually. This one I could strip down 
to a minimum by only adding stuff I think.

Cheers,
Sebastian
