work group collaboration, i.e. back-end chat

A few hours of research and I haven't discerned the answer... what defect, vulnerabilities or disadvantages conspired to kill the back-end chat feature?
Was it the problem with chat entries languishing in the database? The absence of some clean up functions? Some security issues? Just a whim, or it just didn't work? Will it reappear in 1.4.0? Is there something I can do to help?

It was removed because it is old-school and I don't like that anymore.

Well, perhaps the chat itself may be old school, but the message (internal backend mail) is a
very handy tool for leaving some messages amongst the admin(s) and / or backend users if there are quite a few of them....
It really would be a pity to see it being deleted - at least it should become a module. I hope that Jürgen will succeed in switching it over to an optional one... some day
PS: perhaps somebody is willing to assist?

in general
But newer release (r275) got it back for those missing it too much...

This is really cool! I hope there will be a possibility to alternatively select the back end users only (i.e. the possibility to browse through and reorder / select), as soon as there is a running user/group/roles/permissions feature out some day - right now it seems to list
every user and with some hundred or thousand ones this is a real
PITA

Hey claus,
should we connect to a foundable org to get you a new tent ? I see your new location is
OUTDOOR
I resist to ask why ...

You can see me on my google map - right now there is a fireplace only. A tent would be cool, really
And yes - resist!
