Hey there, I fully agree here that the situation Google creates could create a barrier to
client choice,
and seeing how they usually treat XMPP clients that could be a huge threat. This is not
only an open standards
issue then, but also a matter to defend our community against an actor (Google) that
sometimes makes XMPP presence
very difficult on the Android ecosystem, which this actor tries to control more and more
firmly.
I think the XSF should sign this letter.
Freely yours!
