I think if we link to it, we should support it, at least to a point. I'd rather we weren't. But, we seem to be doing that regardless, so... OTOH, I think we should have a messaging system of some sort, and that isn't yet Freetalk. And I don't know whether it's better to link to a messaging system that's so spammed it's unusable, or link to nothing. I guess I don't actually have a strong opinion on the matter. Slight vote for not having it on the list.
