Comment(by noleli):

 Replying to [comment:5 rekkanoryo]:
 > Google Talk accounts are stored as XMPP accounts.  The Google Talk
 account type is just a hack to make it easier for people who don't realize
 that Google Talk is XMPP.  I don't see any advantage to special-casing
 this when it gains us nothing.

 It gains you a Google Talk client that behaves like the official Google
 Talk client with respect to statuses, which is very important as far as
 users are concerned.
