Hello Peter, and List.if end to end is in, then servers in jabber are not needed, exceptfor bootstrapping.
It will take years for e2e to take off. So we're not about to throw out the servers. Plus there are plenty of environments in which e2e cannot be used (e.g., because of regulatory compliance issues). I don't see a good reason to throw our client server architecture out the window.
But there is already the concept to bootstrap serverless from a DHT. See www.csapce.in, which as as well a 2048 bit encryption impelmented. Why is jabber doing the same now, without getting rid of the servers?
See above. It seems to me that we might as well use what we've got rather than starting over. If we wanted to do that, we could just use CSpace. But getting millions of Jabber users to migrate to CSpace doesn't like easy. :-)
IMHO e2e has to be implemented hand in hand with bootstrapping froma DHT.
