Have we considered (correct me if I am wrong) that with KTP we can add
newer versions with bugfixes to 12.04.1 etc if it is already there?
Kopete will cause lots of support work (because its unmaintained, we
have to write fixes for security bugs, we have to provide updates
etc), and we can have it as an installable alternative for those
people with a use case for the bits KTP does not provide.
