it's GSOC we've had to make these plans quite far in advance, and we're not
going to change things just on a whim.

This isn't in any way ruling out there ever being a combo plasmoid. With
both implemented it would be ridiculously easy to do.

(in fact as you clearly know JS, you could do it yourself in not very long)

So what that means in reality is that we have to make both the dataengine
_and_ the plasmoid in order to get something that works. Fortunately we only
need to do the dataengine side once. Another issue is that we are developing
for plasma2, which is a bit less documented.
