My two cents, the decision to not import stuff was not for downgrades, only to
avoid the risk of loosing information. The XML format in Empathy folder is not
exactly the same as in the TpLogger folder. Also, each added folder adds a
large overhead to reading logs, so we need to be careful using that solution.

As I mention, in today's implementation it MIGHT be possible to just move
Empathy folder into TpLogger because we no longer use/set the cm_id. This has
never been tested or looked at attentively. Moving TpLogger content into
telepathy-logger format is also something that is fairly safe if
telepathy-logger is empty, but if for some reason it's not (e.g.somebody pulled
a backup or something) things get more complex, since we could need to merge
them to be 100% correct.

I didn't touch anything of this with in mind the fact that we eventually want
to move forward with a SQLite base storage, which then would be put in the
right directory. We need to decide if it's worth the extra effort.
