[jadmin] Yahoo-Transport

[Daniel Henninger]

PyICQ/PyMSN/PyAIM don't automatically subscribe you to anything.  The  
ask you about every last one of them.  (for every contact that would  
be on your, say, AIM buddy list, you would get a xmpp subscription  
request)  It does attempt to provide you with a way to subscribe to  
all of them at once, or allow the client to agree to automatically  
subscribe to all of them, but by default, if you subscribe fresh to  
one of them, and you have 100 contacts on MSN, AIM, or ICQ's end,  
then you will get 100 XMPP subscription requests.  As far as I know,  
that's not breaking the rules, so to speak, despite how much it sucks  
for the end user.  =(
