Great, so upgrading from 1.3 to 1.4 will bring no new feature (video, sms...) and one previous feature removed. Maybe you should also charge some money for it.
While I agree that the removal of this feature is undesirable, it should be regarded as a temporary inconvenience rather than a major disaster. Surely we're at a point in the development process that requires such modifications but look at it this way:

could, like many companies, leave us *nix users in the dark. So until Linux takes over the world

we're getting Skype only because there ARE some people from the inside who are working at it.
With KDE4 coming up, I suspect a major overhaul of functionality and usability is in store.
