Still reading and even replying to it :)

Thanks a lot for the preliminal information on this.

All I can say is:

KDEPIM/Akonadi 16.04 is so much better than any Akonadi based KDEPIM version 
ever before.


That said, I still have self-compiled KMyMoney as even installing the kmymoney 
package from experimental would remove KDEPIM from experimental again.

I do hope that the KF5 based KMyMoney will be ready in time for Stretch. The 
version I have works reasonably okay, I had a few crashes on updating online 
accounts that may also be related to AQBanking/Ghenwhyfar stuff, but otherwise 
its okay. Yet I wasn´t able to complete KMyMoney after KDE Randa Meetings, but 
I didn´t review this anymore, so compiling my work again. However its not yet 
released.
