Yes, Antox needs to be removed, it seems to be abandoned. Although the repository doesn't state that clearly, the issues users submit are not getting replied/fixed by the developers and there wasn't any commit or a new version released in a while. #3

As far as adding new clients - it's a bit complicated. Clients need to pass TCS in order to be added to the client list. So Protox, Trifa and aTox need to be checked against TCS. The last time someone requested Trifa to be added, its developer said that it's not compliant with TCS, but that was some time ago, perhaps something has changed since then.

I have reached out to Trifa and aTox devs on IRC, asking if they think their clients are TCS compliant (and ready for general use in case of aTox). Will see what they reply. I was looking for Protox's dev, but it doesn't seem like they hang out on our IRC channels? I noticed they call their versions "alpha", so it's a similar situation to aTox where it might not be ready for general use yet.
