BitTorrent tends to be an evolving protocol, with lots of clients
competing for mindshare; I'm not certain that limitation will remain.
As for Skype, it seems like that is potentially a business decision on
Microsoft's behalf. With the money they may be sinking into the
technology, I would contend they have something to lose by not making it
work.
As has been discussed at length on this list, this is NOT an unfixable
issue.
