I just saw some answers on the web interface of the mailing list. I'm
not subscribed, so please CC me.

Chris Forsythe: msn-pecan is not 1.0 because it still needs at lot of
work (IMO), in order to be a standalone library using good networking
primitives (GIO), and easy to plug in to different frameworks such as
libpurple and Telepathy.

However, that's irrelevant, what matters is how it compares to
libpurple's stock prpl.

Stephen Holt: that "feature regressions" argument sounds like FUD;
it's something that people say, but it's not really true.

Cheers.
