There isn't a support organisation; this is just a public mailing list

XMPP is actually a protocol not a service.  As it used by both 
Facebook's and Google's IM services, if your concern is time-wasting, 
removing support for everything except XMPP will still leave at least 
two services that many businesses would consider time wasters.

Also, as is always stated when this question is asked, it is fairly easy 
for end users to locally install the bits you take away to block other 
protocols.

Basically, you simply remove the plugins for the protocols you don't 
want used.  However, the recommended way of doing it is to block access 
to unwanted services in your firewall, not on the end user machines.
