Hello list,
A user recently filled bug #216300
(https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216300) which is about changing
jabber USE flag to xmpp. Here is user's comment:
>
> Is it another reason than legacy reasons that named the USE-flag "jabber"?
> Since 2007 XMPP has been the name of the standard and documentations (including
> the release notes [1]) mostly refers to XMPP.
>
> The most other programs does the same (also loudmouth, used by abiword, refers
> to itself as a XMPP library).
>
> This I think can make it somewhat confusing for people that do not know that
> jabber and XMPP is (at least in this context) the same thing.
I thought it would be better handled on the mailing list and would like
to hear from your opinions.
