Won't that confuse apps which have not been updated yet?

Suppose I have a collection containing application/x-vnd.kde.notes, with
the corresponding KDE app only knowing about
application/x-vnd.kde.notes. Won't it be problematic to create new
application/x-vnd.akonadi.note items in the collection, if that's
accepted by the collection at all?

Note that I am speaking of the existing KDE + Akonadi here, as found on
current distros, in combination with a SyncEvolution which tries to
implement this migration to application/x-vnd.akonadi.note as the "real"
type for notes.

Regarding the current situation, why has this not caused problems
before? Could it be that KDE's type (application/x-vnd.kde.notes) is the
one that is really used in practice? Wouldn't it be better to deprecate
application/x-vnd.akonadi.note if that's the case?

Bye, Patrick
