Just to add some piece of information here, because one could get the 
impression that Marble is a hard dependency of kexi. Actually it's optional 
as well. And while the current release searches for (Kexi)Marble, the 
respective subdir is commented out (and still is in git master), so I'd say 
it doesn't depend on marble at all the moment.

It's an optional dependency there, too.

Seems we're not particular good at foreseeing such things...
Six days isn't much time, but I added Tobias in CC to hear if a soonish 
release of a Qt6-based kgeotag may be realistic.
