Indeed.

These have been merged into Gnus, and in turn into Emacs 23.

Uses CL liberally.  In particular, the following functions are used:

delete-if
delete-if-not
find
find-if
intersection
remove-if
remove-if-not
set-difference
union

And as I'm allergic to code duplication, I'm reluctant to change that.
Could these functions have aliases starting with cl-?  Or could someone
persuade me not to use these functions? :)

Package: emacs
Severity: wishlist

I'd like if one of the most wonderful and adorable Jabber clients,
jabber.el (aka emacs-jabber, <http://emacs-jabber.sourceforge.net>) is
evaluated for inclusion in Emacs 24.

Possible caveats:

- Copyright assignment: there are not so many contributors AFAIK so it
  should be doable.

- Uses (optionally) FLIM features.

- Most probably something else I'm missing.

Pros:

- Rocks.

- Really rocks.  (Personally I find it much more convenient than the
  official GNU Jabber client GNU Freetalk.)

- Jabber (XMPP) is the only free IM protocol, replacement of the
  proprietary AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo!, Gadu-Gadu, etc. etc. protocols.
  I find it odd that Emacs has 2 IRC clients (ERC and the default
  rcirc), but no Jabber client.

- Has many users; some of them have abandoned sophisticated GUI Jabber
  clients (such as Pidgin/Gajim/Psi/Empathy/etc) in favor of
  jabber.el.  (Well, mostly because they're Emacs users, but the
  argument still holds.)


I know such requests should come from the add-on package
maintainer(s), but I see no harm reporting it to the Emacs BTS as a
user.
