25 Honestly..this is not something to get picky over jakub. Upstream was
26 nice and actually came and politely asked us to change the defaults to
27 what most people would consider sane (all protocols by default). As I
28 think most people emerging pidgin..would like to use any protocol by
29 default..not go..hey I don't have yahoo, I should check my use flags.
30 Which obviously hasn't happened as users pop up in #pidgin to ask why
31 the heck there isn't a yahoo account available.
32
33 This should be a nothing change to do. Its also working with upstream
34 and maintaining some good relationships here..and or help improve them
35 in general. That should in fact you know...be part of our goals....to
36 improve communications between Gentoo and other projects.
