Interesting. Kind of glad. Not as I have strong opinions over this 
particular issue but as I felt the bug tracker thread mentioned, painted 
the devs in a poor light, purely in terms of how the issue was handled. 
I like Pidgin & consequently am reassured to see it in good hands.

BTW I can't really think of a better name for it - not that there's 
anything wrong with flying rats either (we have pet rats who would be 
overjoyed at the trouble they could cause if they gained the ability to 
fly).
