I'm probably too dumb to get it from there :) But because of that I  
added a request for a patch that can be applied to the kolab-2.2  
branch so that I can test it. It would be much appreciated :)

If the functionality itself does not get lost and we have an  
alternative I'm fine with doing it in 2.3, too. But concerning the  
functionality that is affected here I'd say "suddenly" would be  
anytime if we don't offer the feature anymore. I consider the feature  
important.
