Description

Some modern XMPP clients, Gajim for example, are dropping supports for XEP-0054/vcard-temp and switching to XEP-0292/vCard4. It would be useful to have support for this XEP in ejabberd. I saw closed feature request feature [xep-0292] and understand the reason. However this was nearly 3 years ago maybe it's time to reconsider.

Research direction

Start by reading XEP-0292 and comparing its requirements with the existing XEP-0054/vcard-temp support referenced in the issue. Review the earlier feature request in issue #2413 and the ejabberd XMPP implementation to determine the required scope; done means ejabberd supports vCard4 over XMPP for clients such as Gajim.
