Yeah. I was changing some APIs in Baloo and then I noticed stuff that I had 
not ported.

Baloo is mostly just a library to access stuff. It does not need to be running 
for applications to use it - imagine sqlite.

It does have a separate process `baloo_file` which is responsible for updating 
the index. But even if it crashes/whatever applications can still access all 
the data.
