I'm currently working on implementing XMPP features into libpurple. I've successfully implemented PEP and User Mood (XEP-0107).
Great!
Now I'm planning on XEP-0154 (User Profile) and XEP-0084 (User Avatar). Those protocols are still experimental, though. Is it wise to implement them right now? Why are they still experimental after 4 and 3 years of development respectively, are major changes expected?
Avatar would be good to implement, no question. That's not had implementations (until now) because previously it was pubsub (rather than pep), which some people had issues with and never implemented, and then because it was pep and there were no pep servers. Now there are both pep servers and clients, expect 84 to pop up places (like Psi).
154's trickier. It exists because people have issue with vcard-temp, but despite this most people are happy with it and continue to use it.
If it were me, I'd not make implementing 154 a priority, but 84 would be.
