I mean if you really look at it only Jabber and IRC is left (I don't think sms 
and winpopup are real protocols in sense of IM, they serve a different need).

Almost any end user uses Jabber and you can't force them to do so. If we 
suddenly move all properitary protocols out of the main distro we'll 
drastically decrease our userbase.

Most people need MSN, ICQ, AIM and Yahoo (in no particular order, just how 
they came to my mind)
