I looked into this last week.

It will take me some time to make it work, because there is no documentation at all on how to transition from presence service to mission control.

Note I'm not complaining, I just need to reverse-engineer what Sugar is actually doing nowadays, just like I had to do when doing the initial Etoys port (which resulted in my "Low-level Activity API" document).

Perhaps someone will help me do that at the Sugar code sprint in Uruguay 3 weeks from now. But for this SoaS release that might be too late. Deploying the presence service package for a while longer is the official workaround. After all, that's why Simon and Tomeu spent the time of reimplementing it as a compatibility fallback.
