As you admit, Gossip needs to define the plan better and communicate it to 
the community.  I guess my basis was because the website didn't have it.

In another email, you said Telepathy and the internal XMPP backend can 
coexist.  This is true.  But this is redundant in the long term.  And by 
long term, I mean 6+ months.  You also said that you would like to keep 
the internal XMPP backend and only use Telepathy for other protocols.  I 
don't know if you brought up this idea when you spoke with Rob McQueen.
Considering Rob is one of the main developers of Gabble, I doubt he would 
advocate this approach.

In any case, it's the Gossip developer's decision...
