I'm currently forking the libpurple XMPP protocol to use the new Facebook
login mechanism as well as filling in the parts of Facebook's XMPP
implementation that are missing, such as buddy list management, status
messages and that sort of thing.

So, while it may seem obsolete, there are still useful features that their
XMPP method can't do, and there are plans to update the plugin so would
probably be worth keeping the package in-tree for a bit longer.
