Totally agreed. As a note, I think the list of deprecated XEPs should be revised and a transition mechanism should be developed. The specs are: 1) Avatars: XEP-0084 vs XEP-0153 2) Time: XEP-0090 vs XEP-0202. Yes, there are still abandoned quite popular clients with no support of XEP-0202. 3) Filetransfer. Tons of specs. The transition might be HTTP Upload + jabber:x:oob, until Jingle specs are finalized. 4) MUC. Inventing MUC2 will result in the similar problems. The transition will be painful due to MUC complexity.
