Some people would like to keep XChat, but I can't find any good
arguments for that. If you like a program, you know how to install it
after the installation of the system. Some mentioned that the protocol
implementation was better, but I didn't see any real comparaison.
Finally, having 2 programs which do the same thing is usually a bad idea
for a default install. I prefer to have 1 more language installed by
default on the CD than a second IRC client. 

I'm still for the removal, unless someone come with a real good argument
or an essential "use case" not covered by Pidgin.
