Ok. If you think that kde-telepathy is good IM client and upstream (or
kubuntu) developers will fix future bugs for Kubuntu LTS version, include it.
The only problem I see that new project could release new versions more
frequently and include new features, which is not good for LTS.

And about Kopete:

Seems that Kopete is now really dead.

On KDE reviewboard are more patches for kopete. I asked for testing &
including patches to KDE trunk, but my last email (on kopete mailinglist) is
without response...

So if new project kde-telepathy works without problem, go ahead and include it
to Kubuntu CD!
