Actually, as you know, Akonadi is a good idea, it should remain 
transparent to the user as NetworkManager does.

The problem comes when it encounters it's bugs -- the HUGS number of 
bugs that KDE has which makes it's deployment in enterprise environments 
imposable.

Honestly, KDE is a headache for admins, bugs here, bugs there, and 
there're new bugs with every release and everyone's talking about it.

I think some of it's apps should be suspended form development... like 
'kscd' and 'kmail' etc.... they never worked, and I don't think they 
ever will. In the mean time serious bugs like the buggy taskbar, 
kdesu/sudo integration and puseaudio input configuration is still broken.

My personal opinion is, for the size of the KDE project, it's surely 
missing sponsors.
