What have you been smoking?

Isn't this what an open standard like jabber is all about? The freedom to
use it in whichever way you think is best?

Blocking a server because you don't agree with the company's policy doesn't
make sense. 

I agree that it would be really neat if google would enable S2S, but
blocking google in xmpp clients until they do isn't the way to achieve this.
