I notice on my F9 copy of Empathy that there is no support for MSN or AIM
on the default Empahty install i got (even though the 'help' claims supports
it).
More importantly, I see no OTR support. Which means this default app change
is like going from ssh to telnet.
is not to the say, that I disagree with the decision itself. Just
that it is
very very late.
I do disagree with a switch. And I do hate pidgin with a vengance.
