While I'm not a big fan of XMPP (and especially XMPP clients), I agree
with the reasoning that finding an alternative that works for our use
case and migrating to it isn't a sound option given the time constraints.
So if we want to keep a public chatroom, I agree we should migrate to
another friendly XMPP server.
On the other hand, I barely connect to our public XMPP at all since we
don't do the monthly meeting anymore, and I wouldn't personnaly mind
dropping public chat completely.
Cheers!
