We don't propose to retroactively default to it in Jaunty. :-) Of course we will revert to Pidgin if Empathy doesn't get stable/useful enough by Karmic beta. However, it has a very active and eager upstream, they fix bugs every day, and the desktop team also throws some integration resources at it, so I'm hopeful that by Karmic final this will work very well. > Obviously it would be undesirable to try retrofitting Pidgin back in > after the feature freeze Right, undesirable, but not impossible. Pidgin is well tested, and it's easy to revert back to.
