Technically it is not complicated at all, basically we will apply the same 
strategy you do with Profiles but expanding it for more stuff such akonadi 
resources or dolphin places.

Note that kdepim people are using more or less the same technique in the 
"Setup account wizard", so we are consolidating everything rather than doing 
something over-complicated // complex.

Indeed, I hope to have the base in 1 or 1,5 month, after it we will still have 
to port everything over do usability tests etc so we still have 3-4 months 
until we can talk of removing the KCM.
