IMHO, this is the beginning of the end of KDE
Because some portions of it require a free database engine? Seriously?
Not becuase of that. Because it's starting to use resources which are totally unnecesary. It's starting to look like the Linux Vista: Nice, but useless.
What part of KDE requires MySQL server? None that I am aware of. But then I build my own from source and not rely on these asinine package dependencies from binary packages. There are NO KDE components that /require/ MySQL. You can' specify database support, but it's not required.
Please, enlight me. How can akonadi work without a mysql instance?

BTW, is there a way to disable akonadi and still work with KDE destop?
And yes akonadi does require MySWL, but KDE 4.2 does NOT require akonadi. So my point is still very valid.
