Yes, technical problems. Pulling in the gwibber stack itself isn't
really required, it's a matter of loading the service (dbus) and then
hijacking the existing web frame space in the ui for the authentication
page which is simply passing the token information back as json.

But yes, I understand that making sure gwibber is running, making sure
we're online, checking all the boxes for all the social and privacy
concerns that are doubtless to arise would be something to do only when
we're confident about the architecture and test suite available for
ubiquity.

I just thought I'd throw in an interesting target on a 2009 blueprint
which paints this relatively tame idea in a contrasting light.
