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?

This sounds like an awesome topic for summit!
