>From the looks of code, it seems birthdays calendar backend loads all
local address books , so the assumption that only one addr book backend
is alive may not be correct. Also this change introduces a bug where
e-d-s will never go down if birthdays calendar backend is not loaded (i
think this can potentially happen if that is not checked in evo or it is
removed).
