Do we now uncheck "Google Chat"?

Yes. Why don't you just try it?
Good question.
The answer is along the lines of why some people are skeptical of accepting automatic updates to M$ software or Obi firmware. Now that we are past the XMPP "deadline" and it still works, I don't want to remove an option and find out that I am locked out for future use of the option.
I even thought about posting a comment on these forums about how it might be that whoever has GV set up on their Obi can keep it indefinitely, but new registrations will not be allowed.... so don't delete it if you want to use it. This is only speculation, but it could be imagined... sort of like a "grandfather" policy. I don't like to mess with a good thing :)

Making outbound calls has absolutely nothing to do with the settings you make on Google Voice. Period.

No more forwarding to "Google Chat"? Or do we still need that there for some reason.
Depends. I have GV forwarded to Phone Power. Works great. For the first few days I kept the Google Chat checked, and discovered that when someone called, my phone rang - but so did 'Chat' on my laptop when open. If I were out and about at a hot spot without my cell (PP forwards there, too), I could take those calls easily on my laptop using the mic. I've got it unchecked now, but if traveling would check it again.
I do not have a Google + =shudder= or Hangouts account. Ditto. :)

I wouldn't say "period" without qualifying it.
If you make outgoing calls using the GV web interface, those settings do matter.

That hasn't been my experience. In what way do those settings matter in regards to using the "GV web interface" when making outgoing calls?
