Pidgin supports lots of protocols, including xmpp, via plugins. It just sounds like they choose to make breaking changes to the plugin API for v3. I'd expect popular protocols to get ported at some point before GA.

Yes this 100%. As the post says, nearly all of the API in libpurple and pidgin has changed. So we have to rewrite all of the protocols yet.
