"Stephan Binner, a well-known KDE and openSUSE developer, has released a set of live CDs featuring the latest development snapshot of KDE 4 (screenshots). Unlike the SLAX-based live CD called KLAX, which he used to develop in order to demonstrate new KDE releases, his 'KDE Four Live' images are based on openSUSE. After a large, uncompressed live DVD released earlier in the week, a set of smaller live CDs (compressed with Squashfs) is now also available for download. Don't expect trouble-free computing with these early KDE 4 snapshots, but as demonstration tools designed to give KDE users an early taste of things to come, they aren't too bad. The first alpha build of KDE 4 is scheduled for release early next week."

They aren't just indexers, Strigi is a plugin-based storage system (and xmlindexer is used to feed it). Nepomuk can store meta-data in it, and provides a easy API to store and retrieve meta-data. Like labels. So the Dolphin dev's just need to use the API, then overlay the emblems (and KDE already overlays icons over icons, for example to show the contents of a folder, so that's there already as well). Just connecting the parts. Maybe not like 10 minutes work, but no weeks either.

No reason to think KDE 4.0 won't have them, Strigi is already in and Nepomuk is coming soon, so the whole infrastructure is there already. It'll be very easy to add it.
