Sadly, another perfect example of doing the wrong thing by multiplying
redundant efforts. Open source at its best.

Anyhow, I'm undecided about continuing to maintain pidgin-otr which is
unbearably buggy when there seems to be a technically better
replacement for it (purple-otr). I need to ponder this a little. I'm
gonna be offline for the next couple weeks, this might be the right
time for me to evaluate the options ;-)

I'll keep you posted.
