They have to stay as long as the kresources/ folder is not empty and as long 
as we do not have full migration for all previous resource types IMHO.

Right, in theory this one should probably even go to kdepimlibs/akonadi/tests 
as the unit tests there depend on it...

The entire bookmark stuff is indeed a candidate for a move to playground 
unless someone steps up and maintains it.

Not yet, the goal is obviously to make KNode use it. Additionally, it is 
usable in combination with KMail/Mailody/LionMail etc.

What about people using that one currently? Is there automatic migration?
