It feels like we may want to cherry-pick
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/merge_requests/322
to reduce user confusion.
See
https://discourse.gnome.org/t/gnome-online-accounts-to-remove-window-live-by-gnome-49/27662
Ubuntu doesn't yet have evolution-ews-core in main so I guess Ubuntu
25.04 wouldn't want that patch in their version of this package.
One disadvantage of this whole system is that GNOME provides no
migration between account types. The newer Microsoft options seem like
they would be maintained for longer though so it still may be the
right choice for Trixie.
Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
