Having been the maintainer for gaim on another distribution for a long while now, I can safely say that yes, this is related to the October planned block-out. The problem is, that even though the gaim devels might continue to add support for the MSN8P needed after that time, it may be a sticking point with the DMCA and other laws in other countries. Additionally, I'm unsure whether or not kopete will have support for MSN8P after that time for the same reasons. -- Gary L.
