If you seriously think that enclosing code and functionality into a single app is good for security reasons, then you'd have to vote against gnome-vfs in general, and so on and so on. I think that duplicating the same functionality in every app which needs it leads to less security, as each of the implementations will be of considerably less quality than one implementation devloped by all these people in a combined effort.
Pure curiosity: Are you related to evolution-development in any way, or is this mostly trolling?

Clearly there are important technical challenges that need to be addressed before this can be realized. Ideally we'd have a generic API for contacts managements for which evolution or other applications couldinstall providers, somewhat similar to URI handlers. This would allowus to achieve much tighter evolution desktop integration. Of course, once we have that we need only make evolution execute code in emails by default like outlook does and then we can start writing evolution worms. -Rob
