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".  Arlo is going to look into this in Q3.  We optimistically
 scheduled this for September 15 and then re-scheduled for December 15,
 2014.
