Is it not used by anything else? If so, I agree it makes sense to disable it, unless you think it is useful elsewhere. I could add libidn11-java back if there is real usage of it, but if it is not needed for anything particular right now, I would prefer if you disable it until there is real interest in using it. When/if that occurs, we can always add libidn11-java and jxmpp-stringprep-libidn back again. Hopefully, XMPP will be updated to use something newer than StringPrep meanwhile. /Simon
