The scary rumor has come true.

According to The Verge, citing Google's director of real-time communications Nikhyl Singhal, Google has dropped XMPP altogether.

Singhal says Google had to make the difficult decision to drop the very "open" XMPP standard that it helped pioneer.
This is a very sad news and another proof of changing direction for Google, the Google that once had a slogan "Don't be evil".

This means pretty much the end of Google's IM on Maemo, MeeGo, GNU/Linux desktop, etc.

Goodbye, Google chat/Talk/Hangouts.
