Evolution stikes me as being way too heavy for something that just wants to execute a task periodically or at some later time. I think it might make more sense to put a general periodic execution scheduler into GNOME and Evolution could use it to implement its alarms, instead of the other way around. I definitely agree that having some sort of task scheduler as part of GNOME would be a good idea, though.
