Adding on to the fact that this and Yahoo! Messenger’s other configurations are signed, that Chet basically betrayed us and his archival efforts on Yahoo! Messenger (along with his life choices), that finding archives of these configurations are hard enough as it is, and that it’s basically hard to find anyone else who cared about Yahoo! Messenger to the technical level to archive every nook and cranny of the service, that basically means we’re screwed and I’ll have to find a way to make the clients disregard the signature. While Yahoo! Chat works regardless on 5.5, it’s been noted that in later versions (I predict starting with 8.1) that Yahoo! Chat can be disabled. However, just yesterday, I realized the Yahoo! Messenger configuration gave me (system.xml) disables Yahoo! Chat (this was around late 2012, when Yahoo! discontinued the service). Just some general improvements of how presence and messaging are handled. The current state of affairs for Yahoo! support on Escargot hasn’t changed that much.
