I maintain that the _millisecond_ that some product manager at google believes that federation is no longer necessary for the gmail business, smtp interoperability will be replaced by some kind of (probably initially SMTP-shaped) "submit mail to gmail" interface that they can then extend arbitrarily.

@Jason Bourne-Again Christian @Aurynn Shaw the fact that XMPP is starting to recovery is great. But when people say it was killed, they are referring to its community.
