We are actually adding "Skype is The Thing"-thing... to libpurple and
SIPE...
Very much appreciated by corporate users that prefers F/OSS to
proprietary software...
If there is a corporate sponsor interested in doing the same for
Telepathy we could most likely do that.

Hi,
Speaking of which, as a KDE Telepathy maintainer, I do see quite a
decline
in our userbase. One of the reasons I get from users is "does not
support
$protocol", where $protocol is often Skype, WhatsApp or Facebook. And
no, it really doesn't matter to them that they can have calls via XMPP,
they
want their Skype contacts cause Skype is The Thing...
Then I can live perfectly well with them going away and using Skype, WhatsApp
and $protocol. If they want their proprietary crap, so shall it be, but please
do not spoil free software and propagate use of that stuff for the sake of
having a few more users.
