I could be wrong
but Akonadi's goal seems to be to simplify kdepim data
storage by using a standard DB engine that "just works" instead of
custom application-specific and mutually-incompatible DB-like code.
If it works, everything's fine and we will benefit from advanced
optimisations of SQL engines.
And from my own experience it finally works in KDE 4.8.
NEPOMUK and Strigi don't have the same place, their role is to eat CPU
cycles and disk bandwith until the user either deactivates them or does
something useful with them. But kdepim won't depend on them.
