Well, that depends on how you define "far from being usable", I suppose...

It can play music ( ;-) ), and the collection management seems to work as 
well.
Although, I got a database error when I tried to start it right now. I'm not 
sure why, I don't remember seeing that when I tried it in the past. (maybe 
some incompatibility with newer mariadb versions or something?)
But switching to an external mysql (mariadb) database made the error 
disappear.

Actually there were quite big steps forward last year, it became rather silent 
again in the last couple of months though.

The main things missing that I see:
- not all context view applets have been ported/rewritten yet
- no scripts (and TBH, I don't know if the scripting engine actually works at 
all currently)

That said, there likely are bugs and/or rough edges here and there.
It's certainly not in a state to consider pushing it to Tumbleweed (yet?) 
IMHO.

Kind Regards,
Wolfgang
