I prefer the term "matured" in the context of yaxim's source code, thank
you! ;-)

We (Flow and me) have had some talks with the author on IRC/#smack, and
he indicated that he started over because (a)smack looked unmaintained
some months ago. Not sure if he will switch backends and contribute in
the future, but either way it is great to have another developer in the
mobile XMPP space.
