I share your feelings. But we have to answer the question, what of KDE PIM we 
will ship with KDE 4.0. There are a couple of alternatives:

1) Nothing, KDE PIM 4 gets shipped with KDE 4.1.
2) The current state plus bug fixes based on and including the old libraries. 
That basically would mean that KDE PIM 4.0 is KDE PIM 3 ported to Qt4 and 
kdelibs 4.0 without a huge number of improvements. This would go against the 
notion to get rid of old cruft.
3) The current state plus bug fixes based on and including a slightly polished 
version of the old libraries which won't get in the way, when we move 
everything to Akonadi later. Sounds like some tedious work.
4) KDE PIM 4 based on Akonadi. That's ambitious.

According to the KDE 4 release plan we have to come up with an answer to that 
question and the accompanying code until June 1st.
