And make default config not work? It's a balancing act, where there is no
100% correct solution, I'm afraid.
OK, discussed with fellow kde-sig'ers, we'll drop the hard dependency *for
now*. Deciding factors included:
* nothing in fedora (and kde-4.1.x) actively uses akonadi yet.
* (bonus) mysql-server is big, omitting will save us some live image space
When kdepim-4.2.0 lands, we'll re-evaluate.
