Comment(by deryni):

 The following is from a conversation in the !devel at conference.pidgin.im
 XMPP chat room about this ticket.

 (09:21:08) deryni: wjt: I'm not sure most people would agree that
 Busy->Idleaway is a reasonable transition, but then again I don't really
 use protocols where Busy is a status.

 (09:21:48) wjt: deryni: rly?

 (09:22:02) wjt: i guess it depends how you use Busy

 (09:22:05) deryni: Right.

 (09:22:53) deryni: To my mind Available is almost without-a-status,
 whereas anything else could be reasonably interpreted as having one, one
 which should persist despite being idle. If you are Busy in a meeting
 going idle isn't a meaningful change, for example.

 (09:23:20) deryni: And will just confuse things immensely when you unidle
 and go right back to being Busy.

 (09:24:38) deryni: The "I'm busy don't bother me" -> "I'm idleaway (who
 knows what that says about my availability before I left or when I get
 back, but certainly doesn't indicate being busy)" -> "Oops, I'm busy
 again" transition chain just seems odd to me. But honestly I've never
 understood idleaway really.

 -----

 (09:31:14) wjt: the other problem is: sometimes after autoawaying from
 busy, i'd want to become available when i come back, and other times i'd
 want to go back to busy
