The recent blog posts are essentially about configuring a Jabber server 
to support the features of the Android-based Jabber client 
Conversations.

Such configuration is possible to do with both Ejabberd and Prosody, so 
I fail to see the reason for switching based on that.  Makes sense to 
identify the comparable changes needed for Ejabberd and apply those.

I believe the debian.org Jabber server runs Prosody, and you point out 
that that setup is known to have problems handling spim.  Possibly 
Ejabberd has similar problems (I have run a couple of ejabberd systems 
for several years without experiencing a single spim but that might 
simply be because I am not as exciting a target as debian.org). I fail 
to see the reason for switching to a server known to have issues with 
spim.
