as long as it is:

* quality, so we can rely on it
* actively developed, so we don't get left high-and-dry
* gets a KDE/Qt interface to it so app devs never have to see it
* doesn't drag in unwanted dependences

it's probably a better thing to have a common daemon.

what dependencies does it bring other than glib when built from source?
what dependencies does it bring other than glib when installed from binary 
packages on major distributions?

do you know how many people work on the daemon currently?

yes, you can count on very few people being interested ... but it's not like 
everyone has piled onto kwallet either, right? ;)
