Now you know why closed source software is bad. You are tied to the vendor's release. You cannot port it to one of the distributions not supported. You don't know what it is doing to your system. You are forced to wait for the vendor to release his/her updates taking his/her own sweet time. And so on. If yahoo had published its protocol specs, I'm sure every single open source client out there would have implemented voice/video/whatnot in a much better way.
