DetailsI think it's time to drop this binary blob from our repositories. Reasons:
- Last updated on 2014.05.25, more than 2 years ago. No new releases are expected in the future. - Group calls no longer work. Voice and video calls work only with partners who use an older client. - Since 2016.07.13, voice and group calls are supported in Chromium via web.skype.com. Support for video calls will be available soon.
