We're only going this route to help feed our data to other

Exactly. And for that I&= #39;m a bit disappointed that so far it was only the KDE Telepathy team dis= cussing this across three mailing lists, but not a single message from PIM = (except Christian's) or perhaps even Plasma Active guys :/

Realistically either we (or rather Martin :-P) need to commit to
switching to using Pimo:Person everywhere, i.e a brand new
KAddressbook, updated KMail etc. rather than using Akonadi directly or
this entire thing is just a completely pointless exercise.

That is absolutely true. But obviously I can't do i= t alone and should PIM people not be interested, there's not much point= doing it at all, because we'd end up with two incompatible contact sou= rces/storages, confused users and raging comments everywhere.
