I consider Telepathy to be completely broken for my purposes unless it
interoperates properly with OTR on other clients.  If you want to do a better
version of OTR with deniability in XMPP, go right ahead.  Just make sure that
the old way still works.

Adium having built in OTR support has been a fantastic boon.

I will discourage everybody I know from using Empathy and uninstall it on
systems I administrate until this is fixed.  This should have been thought of
in the very beginning and been a feature in the program since its inception. 
Bad security is unforgivable.

You treating this as a low priority bug tells me a whole lot about what kinds
of things the Empathy development team thinks is important, and good security
is apparently not an important consideration.
