It's doubtful at least whether xattr support is a good thing, because it's too easily gets misused: for example, there were viruses on Windows which effectively hidden themselves in NTFS streams. And there are personal data leaking issues I've pointed out earlier. But the question "xarttrs: to be or not to be everywhere" is totally offtopic, because it's what OS developers should decide. The worst case is Nepomuk becoming a crashy resource hog again, which will turn in cutting it off or disabling by default in most OSes. -- WBR, Vadim Zhukov
