More generally, Telepathy tubes are only intended for use when the
underlying protocol /doesn't/ have a way of doing what you're trying to
achieve. In the case of functionality that's intrinsic to the IM
protocols we support, such as chat or voice/video calls (and maybe in
future, file transfer), then Telepathy will have an interface for it,
and the backend will implement that interface to allow you to access
those protocol features in the native way for that protocol.

For Phase 1, yes. For Phase 2, we need to actually spec and implement
the tubes stuff, which I wouldn't be quite so quick to decide was
trivial. :)
