It would be good to give it API + ABI guarantees. While I agree it doesn't need to be a framework for this, nothing really has to be a framework. We all can just release software independently. * I'm hoping that other desktop environments might want to think about use it. We don't have many file searching solutions in the linux world. Again, it doesn't need to be a framework to do this. However, releasing it as part of Plasma does make it appear to be more tightly bound to Plasma. * I like the 1 month cycles that Frameworks follows. * It isn't required for KMail any more. It's purely for file searching + indexing.
Anyway, I guess I could possibly just move Baloo to extragear and start doing 1 month releases on my own. But it would be taxing. -- Vishesh Handa
