In general I think that XMPP might be missing developers not because
features are missing but because of non compatible extensions lists

Totally agreed. As a note, I think the list of deprecated XEPs should be
revised and a transition mechanism should be developed. The specs are:
1) Avatars: XEP-0084 vs XEP-0153
Google didn't implement PEP so we couldn't move beyond XEP-0084. Maybe
we can do that now that Google isn't on the network anymore.
2) Time: XEP-0090 vs XEP-0202. Yes, there are still abandoned quite
popular clients with no support of XEP-0202.
It's hard to solve for abandonware.
3) Filetransfer. Tons of specs. The transition might be HTTP
Upload + jabber:x:oob, until Jingle specs are finalized.
Let's get XEP-0234 to Draft and deprecate the old stuff.
4) MUC. Inventing MUC2 will result in the similar problems. The
transition will be painful due to MUC complexity.
True. Let's try to do things better this time. That involves deprecating
the old specs more quickly.
