We're already working on it.  I talked to John (from pidgin) last
night and they were going to see about releasing 2.5.7 last night but
it got late and ended up not working out.  I was looking to wait for
that but yes, now that he mentioned that it's not going to be as easy
as he thought we need to move ahead on it on our own.

As far as the blog post, I have a draft I was working on locally but
some things came up last night before I was able to finish it and post
it.  I aim to have that up after work unless someone beats me to it.
