As far as I'm concerned having client-side privacy support is a bug and
isn't something we should ever have added. As such, I think the solution
here is to remove it from the core and let a plugin do it, then the plugin
can be made to do anything we want (including this emminently reasonable
suggestion).

Alternatively, we could add a prpl callback for privacy checking (and not
switch on the ability to control the privacy list in general) and then
have XMPP implement such a function looking for chat room buddies
specifically and falling back to the core version (assuming we keep the
core version) if it doesn't.
