for big models, like the one in kickoff or an hypotetical one in packagekit, i 
really think they should be indeed, models.

the performance difference in terms of speed and memory is just too 
ridiculously big (and is fine, they are two very different use cases)

a thing i would like in plasma2 is the possibility for dataengines to request 
a model (that would be, an actual qaim) for a certain source, like is now for 
requesting services.
