=== Features === * After evaluating Empathy(1) with Colin Walters (walters) and Will Woods (wwoods), FESCo felt that Empathy wasn't ready at this time to become the default IM client for Fedora 10. This was due to some missing features and bugs in comparison to Pidgin. The plan is to reevaluate Empathy for Fedora 11, since most of the current issues should be resolved for Gnome 2.26. 1. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Empathy * wwoods had a suggestion for the feature process that the Scope section have *specific* features that are expected, and the Test Plan have *specific* directions on how to ensure those features are present and working.
This is really late to be switching default apps. A lot of time gets wasted in testing, documenting changes in release notes that already been translated into dozens of languages etc that would have avoided by making changes like this earlier in the release cycle and no later than the feature freeze. This is not to the say, that I disagree with the decision itself. Just that it is very very late.
