[ Fix & QA ] Stop supporting IM accounts for these clients. For both creation & continued use. Verify that if you add a WLM or FB account in online accounts, empathy doesn't try to connect to it. account-plugins-windows-live shouldn't be pulled in by default any more (check a trusty daily which is built with proposed). [ Regression potential ] This is a regression, in that we stop supporting some account types. We don't have a choice about this. [ Original description ] The march towards a future of silos carries on. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat - the XMPP gateway for Facebook will shut down on April 30. http://ismsndeadyet.com/ - Microsoft are removing MSN endpoints. I guess we need to correspondingly remove IM support for these services & SRU it back.
