I disagree. The second page is still used for a lot of normal (not advanced)
users, to  select Aol, Skype, Yahoo, IRC etc.

You want to play with different CMs because you're a Telepathy developer, but I
don't want to have to explain CMs to the average normal user. "What's a haze?"
"which one do I want?" 

It is wrong to give the user the option to choose something that sucks for no
reason, plus it increases our tech-support load.

The only current situation with CMs is Haze/MSN and Gabble/MSN and that can be
equally resolved (arguably better resolved) by having two profile with clear
distinct names (MSN and "MSN over XMPP"). 

Summary: I think giving the option is actually the "lazy" approach, IMHO the 
right thing to do is for us to properly look at the options as we're by far the
most knowledgeable on the subject and select what is actually best. Rather than
making each user conduct their own research.

I would like discussion to be agreed on (even if we do go with DrDanz's
proposal) before anyone writes any code on this.
