New description:

 Instantbird does not yet support XMPP account creation.  This is bad,
 because we wouldn't want to force Tor Messenger users to use a separate
 messenger to create their account.  There's an
 [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=955317 open ticket] on the
 Instantbird bug tracker for this, and the Instantbird devs say "patches
 welcome".  Sukhbir is going to look into this in Q3.  We optimistically
 scheduled this for September 15, re-scheduled for December 15, 2014, and
 re-scheduled once more to the second quarter in 2015.
