The main advantage here is that the current system stay in place and is not modified at all. But people wanting a more modern and user-friendly UX can have it, and it's XMPP. > I also wonder if it'd be useful for the IETF, which has similar struggles. > > Maybe grab me privately and we'll see what we can do.
