I didn't know that!

I guess it still makes sense to upstream the PIM support in GNOME and
that we can't have a special treatment for that in the code in Tails.

Still, the least we could do is to mention this limitation in the doc as
I expect it to become a frequent question to our help desk. After all,
our UI pretends that it works...

So shall I add a "bug" section to the "Unlocking parameters" section of
the doc saying that PIM will only be supported in Tails 4.0?
