People like Vishesh are working tirelessly to improve things. It's difficult 
work, though. 

You know, it's one of those things where there is a relatively big risk and a 
long-ish period of inconvenience, but the upside is so large, it is worth it 
in the long run. Many of us old farts remember how painful it was to run 
Linux, as recently as 5 years ago. Now it's the predominant OS in the world, 
if you look across the whole device spectrum, and the world is richer for it. 
My ultrabook runs flawlessly with the current OpenSuse, full feature set of the 
hardware and great perfomance. And I did nothing to make that work. Very 
different from not that not long ago.

We (as KDE) are taking a risk on things like Nepomuk and also Akonadi. We are 
paying the price. But, unlike Thunderbird, Evolution, Lotus Notus, MS Outlook 
or really anything else out there, we have the basis for something great for 
many years going forward. Thanks for hanging in there with us, those of you 
who do :).
