More likely you will just get OverDrive ==> Kobo account... similar to how Amazon currently works.
Since that only covers library books, it isn't a problem if the DRM cannot be removed.
On a totally separate note, I imagine it would be nice for Kobos to handle .acsm and download the book from a content server, but that has nothing to do with this thread, technically.
(Since each ADE account uses a personal universal key for all signed-in devices, the DeDRM key is likewise per-account. That's because ADE books can be transferred between devices at will.
So, I don't think this is a step towards DeDRM-proof books.)
