 ''(...)

 Quite simply, it doesn't matter if we have one user or six billion users
 outside the developer community.

 That's the most freaking stupid thing ever written in this ticket... and,
 man, I have read a lot of crap here. Worst of all, it was written by a
 developer.

 Fortunatelly, it's pretty obvious that this is a huge lie. We know you are
 proud of the software you use and we know you wouldn't really appreciate
 if Linux distributions stopped including Pidgin as the default IM
 application. Unfortunatelly, on the other hand, that statement of yours
 just show how freaking arrogant you are. The problem is, it is not that
 you don't care if six billion people ignore your software, but that you
 consider yourself so damn good that you think you can do whatever you want
 to your software and people will always accept it as good software.

 I give up. I'll just wait for the next update, as some of you have asked.
 If it's not good enough, I'll leave Pidgin. And I hope the other six
 billion people will do the same.
