Basically yes about simplicity and being able to change things, but I
think the correct level of abstraction here is *use-cases* and not
protocols or clients. This is also the level the "message that started
referencing the options according to letters" was talking about. Some of
the use-cases (A. and B.) map to protocols very directly. Others like
"Public chatroom for Tails user support" do not though.

I also don't believe that there should be one big communication-client,
but the use-cases that IRC and XMPP satisfy are very similar, so one
client for both might be a good idea usability wise. I am not sure.

Please feel free to add your ideas to the blueprint:
