1 Hello list,

3 A user recently filled bug #216300
4 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216300) which is about changing
5 jabber USE flag to xmpp. Here is user's comment:

7 >
8 > Is it another reason than legacy reasons that named the USE-flag "jabber"?
9 > Since 2007 XMPP has been the name of the standard and documentations (including
10 > the release notes [1]) mostly refers to XMPP.
11 >
12 > The most other programs does the same (also loudmouth, used by abiword, refers
13 > to itself as a XMPP library).
14 >
15 > This I think can make it somewhat confusing for people that do not know that
16 > jabber and XMPP is (at least in this context) the same thing.
