The idea is not use Akonadi as a direct storage for KMM data, but only for
that data we want to integrate, so that this data is exposed to other
applications. Using it for KMM would certainly have performance issues. I
know reports would surely have that problem.

So, making KMM able to act as an Akonadi resource looks important to me.
