So this calendar-server stuff is not a temporary HACK and gnome-shell
will have a daemon running at all time for the calendar (even if
evolution is not used)? I thought it would be removed when e-d-s
supported async calls.
Native libraries are there for a reason. It would be as if we avoid
using telepathy-glib, upower-glib or libnm-glib, fearing they could
block or have bugs.
