Hi,
Someone in #adium-devl has been working on something that I've been
hard-lining against, so I figured I'd bring it here for discussion.
His idea is to add network awareness to the login controller (option
when starting Adium), so a user profile is tied to a location.
As a totally not-user-facing and not-supported-in-the-least-bit
feature of Adium, not to mention one that lacks a way to switch users
without restarting Adium, or any number of problems (total preference
loss, total log loss, etc, on switching) I've been vehemently against
accepting any patch that uses the login controller.
I wanted to gauge devel's level of agreement with me. I don't think
any patch which relies on the login controller should be accepted, and
this is better served as a general "this account in this network",
etc, part of an advanced preference (if at all).
