Yes. The market for non-branded, generic jabber clients that can work to connect me to IETF sessions gets smaller and smaller every IETF. This is because it is driven by end users.
Of course, there are places where Jabber is still used. But how does that help me to connect to IETF meeting jabber rooms?
