I reviewed up to e62456367481018 - first pass, looking at the diff only, not reading the HTML.

Ultra-low-hanging fruit:

git grep Simple and consider:

s/\<Simple_Presence\>/Presence/
s/\<Simple_Status_Spec/Status_Spec/
s/\<Simple_Contact_Presences\>/Contact_Presence_Map/ (?)

git grep telepathy/ and replace with telepathy1 where it appears in object paths (at least one occurrence, in Debug)

Call the Debug object .../Debug instead of .../debug?

Remove the Detailed from HandleOwnersChangedDetailed

Hold should probably have an xor-requires on Call and Content, not a requires

Maybe rename Protocol (the typed string) to Protocol_Name to avoid confusion with Protocol objects?

Set fire to Rich_Presence_Access_Control and just use Access_Control in Location

> +    <p>The namespace <code>im.telepathy1.Qt4.Error.</code>

should be Qt.Error now?

DTMF should lose all references to stream IDs

All fixed on my version of the branch

Not done yet, but low-hanging

smcv/next-access-control does this, and also fixes the cross-references to other interfaces to make sense (including changing the argument of Group from a handle to a string, since we no longer have group handles).

Is this the patch you meant to submit? I found d050a81bb9d07bbe in your repo which seems very different?

Anyway I merged both patches.

Closing this bug. For more specific next problems, open another and make it block bug #23148.
