Indeed. This is a major annoyance when joining a session late or catching only the second session of a 2-session WG. Also it is very annoying when one gets dropped
from a jabber session and has to rejoin.


Indeed, I've run foul of this on a few occasions.


I think all the rooms at jabber.ietf.org should have history enabled, but cleared
out just prior to each meeting.

Well, history clearing is not a standard feature (it's in our implementation but I think we may be unique there).

On the other hand, there are standard ways [XEP-0045 §7.1.16] for clients to request that they only get relatively recent history, such as the previous week at maximum - or the last time they were in the room, indeed - which makes the "three month old history" problem entirely soluble with a decent client.
