      We should drop support for Jabber since its current implementation is very flawed and there are no libraries we can use to get at least partial implementation of some of the XMPP protocol elements that we'd need.

      The current authentication implementation is very outdated (digest-md5 or plain) and no longer seems to work (see https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB-17112 or https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2644045). As a result of that, the notifications via this system is also very much broken.

      Instead, we might be looking at other systems like Matrix (https://matrix.org/) in the future.
