Please let us stay away from Akonadi. You can't sync your contacts between a 
desktop and a laptop by just copying files. I just tried it and it does not 
work because the directory where the contacts are stored is _managed_ by 
Akonadi.

I'm dreading the next version of KDEPIM because I'm afraid I will no longer 
be able to use unison to sync my mail between my computers.

If at all possible, we should stay away from anything that can't be synced 
via rsync, unison or similar programs.
