I am very confused. Can I check I have everything straight.

We had kcm_useraccounts in plasma-desktop, which is super old and rubbish

We had user-manager, somwhere, which is Alex's one.It uses
accounts-service, via it's own lib

In plasma-desktop we have a branch caller user-accounts by Leslie and
FJiang with a lot of recent commits
This contains a modification of kcm_useraccounts, but using hawaii's
QtAccountsService :/


Leslie, I remember pointing you at user-accounts.

You even replied,
"I just wanna join the user-manager project, thanks a lot!"

How come you then ended up changing to doing something else?
