Discouraging to me is akondai, nepomuk, and strigi continue to grow deeper roots into the entire KDE4 desktop. Reminds me much of how Internet Explorer grew to a point of not being able to be removed from Windows. There does not seem to be any option to build KDE4 without those three layers. Perhaps that is possible, I don't know, but I haven't found any tutorials about the topic.
I think it is still possible to build kde4 without akonadi/nepomuk/strigi. the result, however, would be quite useless: no kdepim (which relies entirely on akonadi now), missing basic functionality all over the place elsewhere. so, not a viable option. looking at kde forums/lists gives the impression, that akonadi/nepomuk and kdepim have reached a usable state now (from 4.9.x), with nearly all features that were present in 3.5.10. even address completion in email composer has been reported to work now, provided nepomuk running correctly and already having indexed everything :) I plan to give it a go during the next weeks and write a short conclusion.
