To be honest, I don't understand the "encrypted roster" discussion.
Even if the server does not see the roster at all, it is able to fully infer 
which jids are part of a user's "roster" by just checking the PubSub 
subscriptions and fetches of that user.

Isn't an "encrypted roster" implemented this way just a farce?
Or do I miss something important here?
