I wonder what makes others think N900 will be spared. . It sounds to me like the protocol is changing in one way or other. We're stuck with a Skype blob, and have no hope of getting it updated.Being Linux does not mean we will receive any further support. They will obviously support their new Linux client, but I don't think that means they will revive their old Linux clients (including N900 client).

Pity that SIP/XMPP couldn't get to the masses
