Because some technical folks* like to complain about #XMPP...

Every single problem in XMPP can happen in any other decentralized protocol as well. Hype can die, funds can dry up, implementations can stagnate, walled gardens can restrict what the implementations can do, design decisions can turn out to be the wrong ones years down the line (necessitating possibly unaesthetic hacks)...

At some point we all have to put our foot down and support established standards, no matter how (temporarily) inconvenient. Users, testers, and developers must do everything they can to help.

*The non-geeks are somehow never affected by the geek issues...or they don't really care ¯_(ツ)_/¯
