These are not real concerns. Nor pidgin or gossip are part of the GNOME
Desktop. I'd be worried if gossip were proposed for inclusion in GNOME,
though, but that's not the case.

And I'm not even stating these facts hold... which is a different
matter, but irrelevant for the discussion ongoing.

These could be interesting issues, *if* they are backed up. If you are
really against empathy inclusion in 2.22, I'd suggest you to focus in
these particular points.
