This is probably accurate, but what presents a problem for us will be the regression. We will have users who made use of Yahoo contacts on their MSN account who will not be pleased that they can no longer contact them without signing up for a Yahoo account and using that within Adium. I use MSN as my primary protocol in Adium and have never used it to contact Yahoo buddies, however I know that if I had, having the feature taken away would be frustrating. Despite it not being requested through Google Code, do you (Felipe) think it is something that could be added anytime soon? If we didn't have that regression I see nothing more barring the way to using msn-pecan as the primary MSN prpl in Adium - it seems to be the only remaining issue. At the currently slow rate we're proceeding with 1.4 and with confirmation from Evan and/or Zac and Eric, it seems possible that pecan could be tested out in 1.4 trunk (and if it goes well, in a beta) sometime soon; but likely only if this last regression were to disappear.
