Yes, they even personally blew an approved Google Summer of Code project for OTR with Telepathy/Empathy out of the water. They basically only do jabber and ssl, and have absolutely no clue whatsoever what it means to have secure communication without digital signatures and plausible deniability. The whole point with OTR is being protocol-agnostic. It’s not something they can think about. They’re too deep down in their RFC’s and jabber code to realise jabber is about 1% of the IM community out there in real life, and so a “protocol hack” like OTR is the only thing that is going to work to talk to your real life friends and family that are not CS PHD students.
