It's fine for unstable, but 2-3 years from now is anyone going to be writing patches for instantbird 0.1.3.1 and its forked version of libpurple?Hu? This is an open source project with a forked code base like any other project? Why dont you simply treat it as such?
Because of the history of what happens with projects that get put into stable when they are version 0.1.3.1 as well as the history of what happens with complex network client applications in general.
