And this requires no alterations to, versioning and redistribution of whatever middleware that
KOrganizer uses?

I don't see KDEPIM as fulfilling almost every feature that an integrated solution like Outlook or
Evolution provides.  It really comes down to: I want one place to store my data and I want a
simple consistent interface to access it.

On top of the contact/task management tool that I am building I am going to build a legal case
management system that will be a separate product.  For example, new data entities called "Files"
will be introduced.  I will need to associate, or as you say "pin",
contacts/tasks/events/documents to files.  This is quite easily done with a relational database
model.  That's what relational databases are for: pinning one type of data to another type.
