FYI, apps are coming in that are trying to use the Alarms functionality
of the calendar and acceptance into the store is problematic due to the
lack of this feature.

Bug description:
  Currently the 'calendar' policy group is reserved because giving
  access to the EDS's DBus API allows applications to access all
  calendars without user consent. If calendars are going to be made
  generally available to untrusted appstore apps, EDS needs to be
  modified to use trust-store, like location-service does. Integrating
  with trust-store means that when an app tries to connect to the EDS
  over DBus, EDS will contact trust-store, the trust-store will prompt
  the user ("Foo wants to access your calendars. Is this ok? Yes|No"),
  optionally cache the result and return the result to EDS. In this
  manner the user is given a contextual prompt at the time of access by
  the app. Using caching this decision can be remembered the next time.
  If caching is used, there should be a method to change the decision in
  settings.

  Targeting to T-Series for now, since the trust-store is not in a
  reusable form yet.
