I'm personally not sure whether this would be a good thing for
libpurple. In any case, it definitely won't happen anytime soon (if
ever).

We would likely accept patches for this. We try to be buildable by
sane compilers.

They won't be compatible. Things that compile against 2.x will likely
require code changes in order to compile again 3.x. Changing the major
version number breaks backward compatibility. This is discussed a
little more at http://semver.org/
