Akonadi - Is it really necessary?

[uteck]

If you are using kmail or anything contained in kontact then akonadi
is used for the settings and data.  If you use the nepomuk search,
then you need it as well, or is that just virtuoso?  I think akonadi
even stores the activities settings if you use them.
If you don't use any of that extra crap like most people, then akonadi
is just a resource hog.

I got tired of my calendar not syncing in Kontact and switched to
Thunderbird this week, so I don't have a reason to keep it, but I
can't remove it since it is so tightly integrated into KDE.
