Comment(by tylerszabo):

 I request that this position be re-evaluated due to Bug #9076.

 My use case: I have contacts on Gtalk, Facebook, and MSN (unfortunately).
 I would like to just have them all displayed as online/offline (since I
 have a lot of Facebook groupings).

 With Pidgin's current behavior if I attempt to regroup them (overriding
 the server's organization) upon restart everyone will return to their
 respective groups.

 Thus between this bug, and #9076 there's a problem: I can't group my
 contacts the way I want to, and now I need to look at a page of group
 names, rather than contacts.

 Please stop saying you're making this decision to improve usability: you
 have no evidence of that. Also, please do not tell me this is
 Facebook/Google's bug, because it's not. It's yours.
