Comment 77 for bug 304889

Could you stop those no sense comments and argumentation there? The bug is an issue in some scenarios and you are free to install pidgin if you need it but there is no way anything will change in that regard for lucid now, the rc freeze is in action and only limited bug fixes will go in between rc and lucid, getting this to work will require quite some coding and will not happen now.

Changing technlogies from tested ones to something we didn't use by default would need weeks of testing too and will in no way happens before lucid, would it be using telepathy-haze instead of tested telepathy-gabble, telepathy-butterfly etc is not an option.
Changing back to pidgin now is not an option either.

Now being comfrontational or argument over bug settings there is of no use, that issue will be handled next cycle as Guillaume said, if the default softwares selection in lucid doesn't match your need install pidgin and deal with it, nobody said only softwares shipped by default are valid alternatives for users or that pidgin will not be working
