I understand, but if Freehoo provides support for both, it would be
easier for users to use Jabber as they would be using the same client
for both Yahoo and Jabber.

Yes, it sounds like FreeIPMI is something more important as there are
other Free IM clients out there that already cover the need.

Ok, thanks for your feedback, I will go ahead and close the
evaluation.

I will be looking forward for when you submit the request FreeIPMI,
hopefully we will not have such a bad turnaround time.
