Re: Tomboy in 2.16

Ya, that makes sense to me.  I'd like to move towards a pluggable 
storage backend approach anyway, to support network storage or shared 
notes, so an e-d-s backend could be an option as well.

It seems like this issue shouldn't block Tomboy's inclusion though, 
given that e.g. stickynotes doesn't store in e-d-s either, and I've not 
received any requests for tomboy/e-d-s storage.  A future goal to unify 
storage sounds good to me, once people start using Tomboy and Evolution 
notes both.
