While I agree that it does matter a lot to certain users, I'm not sure
how relevant that is here, because Pidgin has never been certified for
FIPS (and never will be, practically speaking, unless some
organization should choose to standardize on a particular version and
pay to have it certified).  Do you think that the underlying library
still holds enough weight to matter?
