Just to add to what Cristiano is saying, there are some (rather large)
changes to QtContacts manager plugins, like the removal of
QContactLocalId. Porting is a bit of a job, especially since the CE
plugin relies on integer IDs for interfacing with the native
addressbook as far as I can see. It's perfectly possible, but it is a
burden to do so, and then there's the problem that it isn't being
compiled (AFAIK), and certainly not tested... So there are real
reasons to remove this if nobody has the desire to maintain it.
