 Replying to [comment:36 rekkanoryo]:
 > The complexity being referred to is that it adds a completely
 unreasonable and therefore unacceptable complexity to the code, not to
 anything the user sees.

 If that's the case, then why did you previously say:

 "It doesn't matter how hard it is to implement--we've made it clear we
 have no intention of doing so, and I'll go on the record now saying if
 anyone writes a patch to make it happen, it will be rejected. We do not
 want such a feature in Pidgin."

 That implies this has nothing to do with complexity, but rather that
 you've made a personal decision you don't want the feature, and hence are
 closed-minded towards the possibility that anybody else might want it.

 That's your right, but when users are told their needs and opinions are a
 secondary consideration, that's a pretty good impetus to go elsewhere.
