           Summary: Don't poll for PEP nicknames
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: gabble

conn-aliasing.c polls for nicknames using PEP in some situations. Since we
cache contacts' nicknames on our roster, it's not *such* a big deal, but we
probably shouldn't do this.

Historically, ejabberd has not pushed nodes' initial states to us when we have
+notify in our caps (see also bug 27693). There's a big FIXME in the code about
this. We should try to get this resolved on the pubsub list. All other
implementations seem to do the right thing, so we could just declare ejabberd
to be broken.
