Let me quote a user comment from my blog [who was in the beginning very much concerned about this decision as well]: "I decided it might be wise to rebuild +semantic-desktop globally, to see for myself what would actually happen. After 8 hours of compiling (Atom N270) the answer is about 10 additional megs of ram at idle and about 2 extra seconds to boot. There is no performance penalty to load gwenview or dolphin. kdelibs took an additional 10 minutes to compile (2h 15 vs 2h 5); the flag system wide should not increase my compile times by more than a percentage point or two. Given that the hit is extremely minimal: I do apologise for getting prematurely butthurt, and I welcome our new semantic overlords." It's simply a matter of priorities. If the resulting damage is that minimal, it is not worth the effort. (I mean, it's not as if you'd have to switch to a totally different init system or such. :) -- Andreas K.
