This is a particularly crass statement. Remember, you get what you pay for. You, Peter, more than many here know how limited the resources are for Thunderbird and Lightning. Now might just be the time to be grateful that we users have the safety net of the connector to fall back on if CalDav access is removed. (btw, I too prefer CalDav access to my calendars over using the additional addon).

Whilst it's crazy that TB and Lightning aren't considered worthy of ore resources to make them more prominent as alternative email/calendaring clients, and it's good we have these forums to push the developers to improve things, I think a little respect is due for what we have so far.
