What will the provision be to automatically replace the old systray program 
with the applet (or at least let the user know where to add the new applet 
from)?

The minor version upgrade process all throughout the KDE/Plasma 4 releases 
started off as a fairly steady source of minor nits and irritants for users. 

The Nepomuk controls themselves are already fairly well-known so it's even 
more important IMO that if they are deprecated that they don't simply 
disappear completely the first time a new KDE 4.11 user logs in.

Likewise it would be a good idea to ensure our Release Notes for 4.11 (if any 
are started) reflect the migration so that our packagers can ensure they 
change package dependencies if deemed appropriate.

Not trying to discourage, but just some things to think about.
