I think they decided it should never have been created. Gossip was the only client, didn't implement DMs. Then compromised and now shows them, but you can't use them. (Gossip protocol prob never was meant to work with DMs, because DMs are DOA). Now that I'm saying this I doubly realize why I shouldn't bring it up in gossip discussions.. but I still want gossip to work with acl based public events.
