This isn't true: neither control-center nor gnome-shell depends on
Empathy in Fedora 22 (in fact, not a single package on my computer
does).
It's completely true in the sense that both gnome-shell uses
Telepathy as its chat backend, and that the Online Accounts panel in
control-center allow setting up Telepathy chat accounts.
Changing that isn't a matter of removing an app to drop-in another.
