I don't think you'd look good in a suit next to a red guy with horns,
but it's still +1 ;-)

Aaah, yes, but it'll come with 4.5.1, right? Should we communicate to
distributions not to ship that? But won't it be better than the Kmail
and Akonadi things in 4.4?

What exactly is the idea here? I understood this was mostly meant to
let it mature a bit more, not to bring end user advantages in before
releasing it... IOW unless we tell distro's not to ship it until PIM
4.6, this doesn't change much.
