MSNp16 causes unreliable file transfers and contact icons, that is true. However, not being able to add contacts is a problem we currently also have in Adium 1.4.1 (with p15) and which is supposed to be fixed for Pidgin 2.7.11: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/13298. Further issues that would be fixed by updating libpurple are these: http://trac.adium.im/ticket/14650, http://trac.adium.im/ticket/13654, http://trac.adium.im/ticket/14901, http://trac.adium.im/ticket/14527. Those who help out in #adium, on the forums and on the feedback mailing list will agree that especially 14650 and 13654 are very common and troublesome issues for our users. So as far as libpurple goes I'm in favour of updating it. I'm not sure about Facebook XMPP migration because I'm unclear as to where we're stuck. But what I've learnt from updates that involved migrations in the past is that they to require a good deal of testing so I agree with others who said we should do that before putting a beta with it out (provided, we'll wait on Facebook XMPP migration for 1.4.2).

Otherwise, I think we should release a beta of 1.4.2 with the fixes we already have and libpurple 2.7.11. Cheers, Robbie
