Of course you're right. I just had the subjective impression that it's holding back. Which changed (at least my perception of it) which is great. > Don't see Baloo as a third party service that someone else has to fix and > debug, rather get on the train, test it, report your experience and make it > possible to get it solidly working.

This I don't get as it speaks against all I told people about all our three different releases (apps, workspaces and platform). But I think this may be a misunderstanding. So my conclusion. Let's do it asap and know and see the effects and get as many testers as possible so that we can release 4.13 with a great Nepomuk replacement or better evolution of Nepomuk. Thx Mario PS: About Jan's question if there are more applications that share KPhotoAlbum's slight use of Nepomuk. TBH I don't know.
