Yes, although here it's still the plan, so I don't need convincing. I have 
started on making use of KAccounts actually, but currently, the code is just 
as much in limbo as the whole owncloud, nextcloud situation.

I'm planning to talk to both and sure that the only way to not make the mess 
they created with the fork bearable for a downstream like us is to keep both 
implementations fully compatible. I don't know how realistic that is, but it's 
pretty clear that that would make *cloud support in Plasma a lot more likely 
to happen.

For now, the work is suspended until the situation where both want to go with 
the client has cleared up.
