SDO is intended to be shared between desktop frameworks and was actually
started as a shared project between KDE and Ghome. Sadly Tracker uses
their own fork of it and does not contribute the changes back (although
they have claimed to be planning to do it for a long time).
Renaming it would be a IMHO bad move now.
It being close to the KDE development process simply stems from the fact
that I maintain it and add features when I need them for KDE.
So the reasons are simply of a practical nature.

Cheers,
Sebastian
