Neither disabling Nepomuk nor deleting Nepomuk's database is a good=20
solution. It might be the easiest workaround for some of the problems=20
users experience, but IMHO it's sledgehammer-style and in the same=20
league as reinstalling Windows.

Many KDE applications do already use Nepomuk to store information and=20
many more KDE applications will use it in the future. Deleting the=20
Nepomuk database is a sure way to shoot yourself in the foot and I'd=20
prefer if this approach would not be recommended anymore as fix for=20
problems. Additionally, I'd like to see Nepomuk (or the applications=20
using Nepomuk) provide tools for fixing problems with Nepomuk.
