I'm curious to see how this all pans out. We have multiple movements on
replacing or deprecating EDS, and EDS it's self is going through an
interesting transition.

I've always felt that instead of working on gnome/evolution specific
data backends. It might be better to have something in the
freedesktop.org area that is able to support multiple clients in
interesting and new ways.

Although I'm not holding my breath for Anakondi; these kinds of platform
things need to be developed neutrality and I don't think that project
has all the boxes checked.

My own research project to see if d-bus based data services are useful
and efficient enough: https://www.launchpad.net/coisas
