Hi all, I'd like to propose that the Council vote to move XEP-0280: Message Carbons into last call (the "Proposed State"), and then hopefully into draft afterwards.
The XEP has been sitting dormant since it was last updated on 2013-10-17, but like CSI which I brought up a few weeks ago, it is being actively used by clients and is not abandoned. It is widely supported by clients (Conversations, Mcabber, Gajim, etc.) despite being experiemental, and works well today. While MAM may eventually provide a replacement for it, this will mostly likely happen much further down the road, at which point MAM may supercede it. I see no reason to block Carbons from advancing in the mean time, however. In my opinion the XEP is ready for advancement to last call, and I'd like to request that the council take up this issue as soon as possible. Thanks, Sam P.S. A PR to this effect is here: https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/45 -- Sam Whited pub 4096R/54083AE104EA7AD3 https://blog.samwhited.com
