Comment:

 In [changeset:"60644" 60644]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="60644"
 Users: Remove deprecated user contact methods.

 The three default contact methods (AIM, Yahoo IM, Jabber) were removed for
 new installations in WordPress 3.6.

 This commit removes the remaining references from the codebase, as the
 associated services were discontinued quite a while ago.

 The `user_contactmethods` filter is available for adding or removing
 contact methods.

 Follow-up to [23588], [25606].

 Props butterflymedia, birgire, Presskopp, yashjawale, SergeyBiryukov.
 Fixes #44374.
