I have two points, which might or might not be important for the 
freedombox:
1. ejabberd needs to be restarted when adding a new domain to serve. 
This drops all
current connections, which is annoying. Don't know if this hurts in a 
freedombox
setup.
2. prosody has less documentation, especially on somewhat special 
(non-core)
components.

To run prosody on squeeze, I had to make a local backport, as prosody 
is a rapidly
moving target and some rather important functionality (namely external 
auth) is
only available in newer versions than what is found in stable. But I 
guess the
freedombox is based on wheezy atm anyway.

Cheers,

Mika
