Stop claiming that switching to Haze is the solution of all the world's
problems. Haze can be an option for protocols not having a proper CM but
it would be completely stupid to switch to it for XMPP: no call, no file
transfer, no muc, no desktop sharing...

I agree that Haze could be used. Actually we're going to switch to Haze
for MSN accounts in 3.4 as butterfly (and the other Python CMs) are not
properly maintained and lake all the recent Telepathy APIs.

Which issues exactly? Are there in Gabble? in GIO?

Idle has switched to GIO (fdo #37145) so SHOULD be at the same state as
Gabble.

Same as Butterfly.
