the idea was that akonadi plugin would have resided in workspace as well (i think an akonadi dependency in plasma-workspace is fine, like an akonadi-integration under workspace/)
If that can't be done, ok for adding it in plasma-framework(i would already prefer a separed framework on its own tough), I'm just very very stingy in adding new and forever frozen symbols, especially frozen since its first release
