And Haze will also be installed by default? For _me_, Empathy is
*completely useless* without the additional protocols from Haze.
BTW, I find it weird to install Empathy and then add a plugin (Haze) to
make it work with the Pidgin's core (purple) instead of the simple
solution of just staying with Pidgin.
Dunno which protocols do you use, but I (using ICQ, MSN, Jabber and IRC)
am perfectly fine with gajim which supports only Jabber (the rest is
handled via jabber-to-something-other transports) and has IMHO the best
GUI, I've ever seen (also svn snapshot can render LaTeX formulas in
conversations which is a very valuable function to me) in instant
messengers. Also me thinks doing this pidgin->empathy change just before
beta freeze is like testing if the change is worth doing it or not.
