The later. Getting it working on Qt4 without Interview is well on its way, but 
making use of Interview will result in rewrites of the current headers lists 
and folder tree, at least. The more unified we can make data access for those 
two before we do that, the more possible it becomes to actually get that done 
in time. Akonadi helps with that, so I see little point in not going straight 
for the real thing. On a strategic note, it's important that we make kdepim 
hacking fun again, for us and others, since we'll not be able to get kdepim 
4.0 done by ourselves and desperately need new developers. Akonadi allows us 
to make the gui layer a lot more independent and simple, and will hopefully 
make it possible again for non oldtimers to productively hack it. Also, a 
clearly defined and thread safe storage layer will allow us to finally 
address some of our most hated issues by making the use of worker threads for 
lengthy operations possible.
