Our university exchange server is incompatible with
evolution-connector, so it is useless for me. SO, in return for you
having access to your Exchange server, everybody else who wants a
clock is required to install evolution-data-server, libbeagle, and who
knows what else.
I think it is great that you like evolution, but everybody who does
not want it should not be required to install all that stuff and put
up with all that misery.
there should be a clock that is just a clock, and there should be a
separate "evolution clock" for people who want evolution.
Another packaging example. I like Nautilus, but do not want the addon
nautilus-cd-burner. Nevertheless, if you install nautilus, n-c-b is
required.

And I thought that was the best thing about FC5... My company has
conference calls all the time to coordinate work across several
offices and the scheduling changes all the time with meeting requests
managed on an exchange server. I'd never remember them without a
popup at the right time and before this update (which I haven't done
yet...) Evolution was doing those popups at least as well as Outlook.

Do you have any scheduled events/reminders?

A dummy hook would make sense for people who can keep track of
everything themselves, but I'd like mine to work - and playing a
sound specific to this event would be nice too.
