According to jhbuild, both the shell and online accounts depend on
telepathy-glib. And even if these aren't strict dependencies, there is
integration...
Empathy is basically a graphical front end for the telepathy
communications [1] stack which is made up of a number of components
which in turn provide XMPP/link-local/pidgin frontend etc.
Is the plan to just reimplement the front end UX and keep the backends
and hence not have to reimplement a chunk of the various integration
points or to reimplement the while lot, presumably there could be
OTR/Telegram integrated with that stack?
