Wouldn't need to. Technically from what I have seen right now it would
actually be good enough to package up a newer akonadi&baloo&milou to
get something working, doesn't seem particularly worthwhile without
the rest of the workspace using baloo IMHO. PPAs are also always an
option.

Perhaps it would be better to look into this for 14.10 btw.
Milou/Baloo will be more mature by that time and we can try more
daring things. As Milou's features overlap with KRunner, it may be
worth a thought to actually do a replacement attempt... deactivate
KRunner by default and pack Milou in the panel (given appropriate GUIs
to switch between the two in case a user prefers KRunner).
I think particularly in the release after an LTS those kinds of things
are more tolerated by the users.
