Changing the state of freedesktop standards is FAR outside of the scope of Dexter. Dexter's backend is NOT proprietary, it is completely free software, (I know that's not what you meant, but that is what the word proprietary means, and it is an important distinction for me). Dexter has a fantastic dbus api for integration with other apps/services. Also, Dexter will be integrating with libfolks to become even more standardized. However, the use of a new backend that gives Dexter everything I need it to have is hardly a bug, but a feature.
