Just that we don't spread FUD. I know of a lot of people who experienced that 
Baloo is quite fast and much better than the Nepomuk system. I just want to 
avoid that all people think that Baloo is worse or bad. There is definite 
progress and it works very good for a lot of people but it needs work on 
4.13.0 was the first release.

But of course on Mac it'd make sense to disable it (at least for the moment).
