I think we should make libkopete private. Kopete is dying, almost nobody cares about it anymore, only me is adding new features to it and in the transition to KDE 5 I really doubt anyone will step up to port it to Qt 5. There is no reason to incentivize anyone to use libkopete, so there is no reason for it to be public. I will restore the symbol and declare it deprecated. I am really thinking in abandon Kopete. Too much trouble for almost nothing.
