I think the problem is that you are wrong about this.  I think Akonadi
has been so deeply coded in that it was not possible to have it
deactivated and the applications still run.  Having two versions of
applications to maintain is obviously overload on the developers.

Personally I'd be happier without it - but I much prefer optional
things.  I like to organise my work as it suits me, so searching in
that sense has no value to me.  The big dream, though, was to make
information cross-application (which naturally means cross-platform
too) for any application that finds the information useful.

Even that doesn't appeal to me, but looking at the number of facebook
and twitter users, it probably would appeal to many.
