MSN - Butterfly or Haze

[Lukas Hetzenecker]

Some time ago I asked on the IRC channel about the state of the
telepathy-python wrapper and heard that only the client part is
deprecated, but the connection manager / server side is still
supported.

2011/10/7 David Edmundson <david at davidedmundson.co.uk>:
> Currently butterfly does not support the method we use for KWallet
> integration for passwords.
>
> This leaves us a bit fucked.
>
> George K suggested we simply use the MSN plugin from Haze rather than
> Butterfly. It apparently doesn't lose your messages and has the
> password interface we need.
>
> We use butterfly because of this wiki page:
> http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Haze%20vs%20Butterfly but it's
> mostly obsolete now. I've heard telepathy devs complain about
> butterfly and want to see it scrapped.
>
> When asked on the telepathy mailing list the response was "fix
> butterfly". Given this probably includes fixing telepathy-python which
> is deprecated, frankly I can't be bothered.  Besides we'd never get it
> to the users in time for our release anyway.
>
> So:
> Who here uses MSN?
> Do you use butterfly or haze? Have you tried both? Which is better?
> Any strong opinions?
>
> Due to the feature freeze we need to make a decision ASAP.
