[Adium-devl] Should there be a Yahoo! server field?

It has been the case, with Yahoo!, that it would stop working for
everyone and the fix was simply to change the server address. If this
field didn't exist, we'd have to rush a new release just to change one
string.

Additionally, it's necessary for people doing neat things like SSH
tunneling and the like.

Basically, it's not useless, although it may be of limited use to most
users. Gaim puts it in an "Advanced" tab, and I assume Adium does the
same. I consider that the best way to handle it.
