A simple request: please do not top-post, OK?

OK, from what you wrote the only things of any note are to do with Kmail 
and Akonadi.

I don't use Kmail and never have; and I automatically turn off 
Akonadi/strigi/whateveryouwanttocallit.

So, from this perspective I have nothing to gain in installing KDE 4.8 
on my "production" computer, right?
