A memory leak is a bug, and not an issue of protocol scalability. jabberd14 is hardly developed nowadays, PEP is not the only feature it is lacking. jabberd2 is relatively more developed still, but as I understand it "scalability" is not the reason it doesn't implement PEP (more that PEP is relatively hard to slot into the jabberd2 architecture, which I understand). > I don't think the current tone is bringing us anywhere, in any case. I don't know about "tone" - this is a technical issue, and deserves a good technical argument. If at the end of the day we can improve either the specs or implementations (or better, both) then it's certainly worth it, and it's quite normal and healthy for such debates to take place in a standards organisation (that said, this thread started to be on the wrong list a while back). I will agree that "scalability" means different things to different people, and it is better to focus on more concrete issues, but it seems to be the reason used here for pushing the issue downstream (it's affecting me as a user), and I see no evidence yet that it is a valid reason, which is why I mentioned it in my post.
