I asked on Google Plus if Empathy was supposed to be installed by default, and got the following reply:

"We removed empathy for now. It was having some massive issues to the point where it wasn't even reasonably usable. We're still considering our options regarding chat."

Personally, I removed Empathy because I couldn't get it to work.

I read somewhere that empathy will be renamed to chat?
