Which makes me think, do we want to stall support for the non-Akonadi PIM right away 
when the Akonadi-based PIM is released? I think an opt-in scheme would make sense 
here, given that it's a pretty grave move and also bears some risks for acceptance. 
This depends on wether we are actually able to support it, of course. (Though distros 
that have promised support for it would surely be happy.)

Yes, or at least make sure people know that 4.5.6 *might* not happen. :)
