Comment (by MarkDoliner):

 For the record I don't think the new preference is necessary.  Isn't UPnP
 used only when you're trying to transfer a file?  I've seen no evidence
 showing that it hurts users.  I don't think we should add preferences to
 disable good features because of vague suggestions that UPnP causes
 security problems.  I would understand the need for the preference if
 someone gave me a specific scenario where Pidgin's use of UPnP was
 dangerous.
