This protocol-specific effort is exactly the issue. When a protocol changes,
Trillian and GAIM are the _first_ clients to adapt. By linking straight to
their protocol plugins, we get the fixes at the same time. We don't have to
wait for someone to port the fixes to Python.
I agree that something like Twisted would be good if it were just as fast
moving as GAIM, though... only perhaps in a more efficient runtime than
Python. :-/
