Let's remove net-im/tmsnc from the tree:
* it's broken due to MSN protocol change
* abandoned upstream
* open security bug 229157 (but we have a patch)

net-im, are you going to handle removal or do you have a better proposal?

+1 vote to remove from tree, upstream discontinued and "replaced by http://www.fama-im.org" (which unfortunately looks just as dead at the moment).
