Should be perfectly fine and if I'm not mistaken this is described  
like this in the Kolab wiki. It is just not the default and will only  
be used by experienced users and thus we expect you to modify the  
corresponding configuration templates yourself :)

I don't see the reason for that. Maybe you could add some more details?
