That's right. There many IM clients out there. I don't have a strong
opinion on removing aMSN. What I don't know is if it will not
like/will affect to the users of it (given the statistics in popcon).

On the other hand, I have read on the webpage of aMSN that they plan
to release (some day) a version based on Python. I have already tested
such a version, and it is not in that good shape still.

Finally, I am inclined to accept that which be better for Debian
either being removing aMSN or not.
