We can if we provide the Akonadi based alternatives.

Is ported to Akonadi and will be included in 4.5 (currently in kdereview)

Can be replaced with the Akonadi based calender file resource if this one

Can be replaced with the new Akonadi based resource that is already located

The development of SLOX is discontinued since 2005, so we can safely drop this

vcarddir was used as test resource only and can't store contact groups
which causes unnecessary confusion on user side.
