The end of Google Talk :(
Looks like Google will finally once and for all axe a huge chunk of my XMPP roster... the remaining few that didn't click the "upgrade to hangouts" button

I doubt that. I'd say that most "federation-FAIF-aware" people who used that at some point, also used, or later moved to real XMPP servers. And those who didn't, probably were happy (i.e. didn't even notice) with the """""""""upgrade""""""""" to Hangouts (was that enough quotation marks? xD).
I did not even realize that Hangouts included a messaging service (Just peeked at a wikipedia article). I'm ignorant as I've never tried it.
Sigh, I already had a plan in place to completely move away from it, but I was hoping to have more time to convince those few people I'm talking to over gtalk to migrate to a real xmpp server...
