2e1704ddfda6ae53ec2793129f2700601ac6f31b in kdelibs increases the 
requirement there to SDO 0.7. I don't know why. Sebastian Trueg would have 
to answer that and tell you what it would take to revert.

As far as I know, kdepim 4.6 and kdepim 4.7 are SDO 0.7 compatible. Has 
anyone confirmed the opposite? If both are not 0.7 compatible then that has 
to be fixed and nobody knows about it.
