Migrating config data is very hard. You have to deal with an awful lot of details, weird setups, configs which were migrated over many years again and again, and you have to get it 100% right, otherwise users will be annoyed. It's also tremendously hard to test as you usually don't have access to a wide variety of test configs, and developers don't notice issues, as they do the migration of their own data only once. So this needs a lot of hardening, and a lot of attention to details. We should really take the time to do it properly. Any problems with that will badly reflect on Akonadi, which we really have to avoid. The current opinion of Akonadi is already bad enough. -- Cornelius Schumacher <schumac...@kde.org> _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
