What problems do you mean? Do you mean the authorization request flood
or do you (also) have other issues in mind? I am in particular
interested in feedback about the other issues as the first issue is
already fixed in Coccinella since some time; Sameplace copied this
feature and wrote a good blog article about it:

Maybe you only need to switch to a better XMPP client that does not
"suck hard" on transport usability? ;-)

My goal is to fix all problems, so feedback like defining these
problems is very welcome.

I don't think I said anything about promoting them? I only said
something about increasing end user experience.
