Hi folks, I'd like to request that the council reconsiders its previous decision[1] not to advance XEP-0334.
Rationale: It has many implementations, and other further-advanced XEPs already make use of it - e.g. XEP-0280, XEP-0353, XEP-0424 (this may be an incomplete list). From this I believe that it is successfully serving a purpose, and filling a gap in the protocol. As I understand it, the veto from Council in 2021 was based on the fear that the XEP was not sufficiently limited in scope, and would be extended with a growing list of hints. That has not happened - the last (and only) added hint was in 2015. There have also been discussions that there may be better solutions we could work on. Personally I have hoped that the currently-vague "IM NG" will make this XEP redundant. However, advancing this XEP from Deferred to Stable will better reflect its current status, and will not prevent us from working on alternative solutions in the future.
