Well, it all depends on personal experience and the people you are
involved with. From my point of view Peter just hasn't seen demand for
VP in his circles. That doesn't mean that there is no such demand (maybe
subconscious?), or that your ideas have no merit. Did you notice the
smiley?

Also, Peter's comments do not necessarily represent the stance of the
JSF, if such a thing actually exists. He's just another Jabber fanatic,
that happens to be very vocal and active, doing some great work.

By the way, your proposal was deemed 'interesting' by the Jabber Council and
thus we decided to grant it JEP status. We don't do that with proposals
we see no use for in the Jabber community at large.
