No, not login from different boxes at the same time. This does not make
sense for me as a user can only sit in front of one computer.

In general I have the fear that the latest development directions are
not realy enterprise safe. Many of these new things are fine for single
user computers, but if it comes to network centric stuff many things
fail (akonadi, digikam ...). To my opinion they chose the wrong
assumption that all files are on the local hard drive.

Back to akonadi: If these data are pure caching data, this should never
go to home directory. The same is true for thumbnail cache. These data
are better placed in /var/tmp.

If there are more than caching data, they must be separated form caching
only data. This makes backups easier and don't clutter them with
unneeded caches.
