    6464In short, there are a lot of good reasons to ''not'' use Pidgin MTN if one does not wish to develop Pidgin, Pidgin plugins, or a codebase which interacts with Pidgin in some intimate way.  There are, however, only a few reasons ''to'' use Pidgin MTN outside of the above.  Please weigh these things carefully and decide whether you wish to use Pidgin MTN for a good reason which furthers the community, or for selfish reasons which are not entirely important.
