That's what I tried to hint at with "(which might also need to be a build-time
option, think app bundles who do not like separate demon processes)."

A demon is not overengineered for this purpose IMHO, and I had thought quite a
bit how to overhaul the Plasma weather dataengine to make it sanely reusable
as system-wide service, just never got to the editor to implement things.
But those who do the code decide and can apply their favourite architectures
and whatever makes reaching a working product for them faster :)
