telepathy-gabble used to hard-code a list of public proxies, but we stopped doing that when Telepathy became increasingly widely-used (via Empathy replacing Pidgin as Ubuntu's default), because the administrators of those proxies hadn't really given permission for us to use them in this way. We had a request from one proxy admin to remove theirs, and once they'd pointed out the issue, relying on "easier to ask forgiveness than permission" for the rest didn't seem right either. proxies.telepathy.im is meant to act as a round-robin of proxies that (a) work, and (b) we are allowed to use like that. At the time, jabber.org was the only domain that specifically gave us permission to use their proxy (I'm not sure how many others we asked). Do you have permission from the sysadmins of any of these proxies for us to make them the default for Telepathy users? If not, we'll have to ask permission before we include them in our DNS. According to the git history, Guillaume wrote the code, but I'm not sure whether he was also the contact person or not. Guillaume? The administrators of jabber.org change occasionally (in order to have various different XMPP server implementations used on that "flagship" domain) so perhaps it isn't surprising that proxy.eu.jabber.org has vanished. The telepathy.im domain is run by Collabora, so once we have permission from at least one replacement proxy provider, we can ask our sysadmins to make the change.
