I would not be opposed to doing this after it has gotten significant  
testing. Part of the problem with 1.0.3 was bumping libpurple.  
However, using *only* released versions of libpurple, plus perhaps a  
(very) small, known set of patches we've apply, would definitely be a  
policy I would support.
