A comment about " MSN (for example) are known to change their protocol and after a while not allow anyone using the older version."
Kopete uses external library for msn/wlm for a reason, and thus far there's been volunteers finding and fixing what's been changed on other protocols (sans IRC, ofcourse) So I don't think that's a valid argument on deciding this. Me? I would love to see both, unfortunately. Kopete as default, KTP as recommended alternative.
