Akonadi might sound like a great concept, yet I don't want a database server on
my machine.
Sneaking a server in through an update shows much disrespect for (KDE) users.

How is your regular home user supposed to know what to do in terms of backups,
security, etc. ... ?
Ubuntu, which by default comes without a firewall, suddenly has a server
running with (as always) a potential security leak.
Will I loose application data if this db gets corrupt ?

Can't a file be used for just an average home user ?
Interchangeable by a database for advanced users.
