I've recently been writing QML adapters for accounts/signon (available in nemo-qml-plugins), and most of the application use-cases I am validating against use oauth2 for sign on. If online accounts are, indeed, a core consideration, then I would argue that the signon plugins which enable them to be used effectively probably also belong in Mer core. So, I guess I'm requesting the inclusion of signon-plugin-oauth2 and signon-plugin-sasl (and their dependencies) into Mer core, if it does make sense. Cheers, Chris.
