Let me put it this way. The KAccounts-KTp integration in 15.04 is crap.
Pretty
much anybody that tried to set it up went through some sort of troubles.
There
are about 2 users everyday on irc asking "why is my account not appearing
in ktp".
There are many bugreports incoming with the same. Debugging this is long and
not exactly easy and it's not like there's a whole bunch of people actually
helping
those users. This new code makes it better by about 3000%. Plus the code is
in fact tested in Sailfish and Empathy (in Unity).

I do think this requires a better solution than telling everybody "please
keep your
broken setup till sometime after August, maybe only after you upgrade your
distro".

Also, given I'm the only one actually doing the coding, I do not want to
maintain
two different codebases.

As for the freeze, I would be of course asking the release team for an
exception,
I understand that's what the policy of granting exceptions is meant for.

Cheers
