"Tubes are Telepathy's mechanism for supporting arbitrary data transfer
and remote IPC." — http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Tubes

In French we have it easy as /tube/ etymology tells us it comes from
the Middle French word /tube/ (and further down the history from the
Latin word /tubus/).

Anyway Guillaume Desmottes, the Empathy maintainer, just told me he
has no objection removing this string from the release notes, as it
has no audience (the few developers who were using tubes are following
Telepathy development, and know about this change already).

Paul, what's your opinion on this? Removal of the sentence?


Cheers,

        Frederic
