Additionally, there are some branches that need review and merging prior to
releasing 2.6.0:

im.pidgin.cpw.darkrain42.xmpp.avatars
im.pidgin.cpw.darkrain42.xmpp.bosh
im.pidgin.cpw.malu.client_type

I'going consider the these branches blockers on 2.6.0 to get them merged and out
of the way.

I would add the im.pidgin.cpw.malu.xmpp.idle branch to the list of blockers, but
it's my understanding that we should wait until the related XEP hits draft status.

As a final note, I know I've said this before, but I want it listed publicly for
reference.  I'm also considering the merge of
im.pidgin.cpw.rekkanoryo.icqxstatus (which Richard has taken over maintenance
on) a blocker, as the work on this branch has been ongoing since 2.5.2 or so.

I apologize if I'm sounding like a dictator, but we NEED to get tickets
resolved, and we definitely should take advantage of the minor version bump to
deal with as much stuff needing new API as possible.
