Dear KDE PIM developers and Bug Squad,

obviously this is not a "bug" by definition, but you included it as a feature.
I admit not to read the changlog and all feature discussions, and I can imagine
you want QR code because it is fancy right now to have - "just take a picture
of my screen with your smartphone, and there you go with the contact!"

But there is no way to deny that it simply looks huge and ugly. Kontact will
never be used in any office if it keeps on like this. Over the last months and
years we struggled with transition to Akonadi, which seems to be kinda working
now. And then you include this? Which non-geek computer user would like it?
What do you think, how often will a contact be copied by this, compared to how
often one uses the adress book?
And even worse: Imagine you use your kontact now in public space, or big
office. Anyone passing by can quickly take a picture and have all contact infos
that you have open right now.

I always missed ANY easy configuration options of kadressbook appearance. But
this makes it from "okay-not-the-optimum-but-i-use-it-not-sooo-often" to
"I-do-not-want-to-get-this-contact-info-because-there-is-...-THIS"

@Christophe: Please do not show off with "I know more KDE user people than
you". Just please take a deep breath, a tea, and really think about the use and
appearance and problem of this feature, and if it can be improved.
