Sincerely, i'd like to have less exceptions not more, in my opinion we 
shouldn't give soprano nor akonadi that exception either, it just goes to 
increase the false impresion that those are "kdelibs-only software".

Besides as a regular user having our latest releases depend on bleeding edge 
soprano, akonadi and SDO is a pain, I don't want to be forced to build a new 
soprano to build kdelibs or nepomuk.

That coupling we have in that area worries me a bit, are APIs and/or behaviour 
changing that much in those libraries that we absolutely need to use a library 
released the same day to make sure it works?

We have an Okular that builds against poppler 0.12 and up, that's 6 major 
versions, obviously you don't get all the new features if you use an old 
poppler, but stuff still works.

Of course this is a rant, your question can only be answer with a "sure, why 
not", since you obviously realized that you totally need something that's not 
there on old SDO and you don't have a release yet.

Cheers.
  Albert
