*Your* users[0] don't care. Ours very well might. In fact, a cursory search of our trac suggests that we have active users depending on MSN <-> Yahoo support and filing bugs about it, so a regression like that would probably make a number of them pretty upset. Your users probably tend to be the more savvy end of the crowd. Many low-end users never need file transfers and just use email anyway.

[0] In fact, your users that are able to properly triage a bug into the msn-pecan issue tracker, which implies an even higher level of sophistication than picking msn-pecan over the default prpl in the first place.
