Ah, misunderstanding. KABC::Resource is deprecated and the KDE accounts 
resource in kdepim-runtime is the replacement for the plugin derived from 
KABC::Resource.
Other parts of KABC are still in use, e.g. KABC::Addressee is still the main 
class for handling contact data.

It isn't providing any API of itself, it is an implementation of 
Akonadi::ResourceBase [1].
